If a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that product is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or where it fits in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.

You may not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. You also don’t want to be in a hurry and make a decision you might regret later. By using TPM, you can choose when you want to upgrade your hardware. You can also prepare for the transition by saving up money and making sure you are ready for it before buying anything.

If you are working on hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the part may not work with your equipment. You can solve this problem by using parts that are trusted and that will work with your equipment. The people who will be repairing your equipment are experts in this field and may know more about your equipment than the people who work in-house.

If you want to avoid paying too much for post-EoL OEM services, you can work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar services but at much lower prices. Plus, they may offer a more expansive or personalized scope of work than your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making and selling equipment. TPM programs are designed to focus on the needs of a company. A TPM program might be able to do a repair in a way that creates less down time for your company or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with parts of an OEM and TPM support if that is what your business needs.
