When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value and it can be convenient to keep using it if it works for your company. As long as there aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.

You may be wondering if you should upgrade your hardware soon. But you don’t have to make a decision right away. You can continue to use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. This will give you time to prepare for the transition and get your finances in order. When you’re ready, you can purchase new equipment without feeling rushed.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. This can be a problem because the parts may not be compatible with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. You can also get more work done for less money, and you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making equipment. TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. They might be able to fix the equipment in a way that creates little down time for you or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even mix and match between OEM and TPM support if it works better for your company.
