Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product is useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If you still need the product to work for your business, you can keep using it by using TPM. This will help you stretch your investment and keep the product working for longer.

You may be at a point where your hardware is about to reach its End of Service Life. This might be a difficult time for your company because you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades. You have your own business to run and you need to balance your time carefully. Plus, you don’t want to feel like you need to make a hasty decision about upgrading your hardware. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM, you can choose when you’re ready to upgrade. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not be as reliable. You can solve this problem by working with TPM. They have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. You can work with a TPM company and save money. TPM companies have a similar skill set as OEMs, but they charge less. Plus, with TPM you may get more services or a more personalized experience than you would from your OEM. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs focus on the needs of a company. Sometimes a TPM program can do a repair in a way that creates less down time for the company or offer more services that are better for the company. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with parts of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
