CISCO CATALYST 3560X 48-PORT 10/100/1000 POE SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that product is not suddenly 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 with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can use it for longer by using TPM.

Your business might reach the end of its life cycle (EoSL) at a time when your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades. You have your own business to run and your schedule to balance. Plus, you don’t want to be rushed into a hasty decision because you feel like you need new 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 fixing your own computer, you might not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts might not be as good quality or they might not work with your equipment. When you work with TPM, you have access to better quality parts that are trusted and will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are fixing your computer are experts in this field and may know more about your computer than the people who work in-house.

Save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs, but without charging a premium. In addition, the scope of work with TPM may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by 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 keep it at bay.

OEMs specialize in making equipment. TPM programs focus on what your company needs. They might be able to fix things so there is little downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model with parts of OEM and TPM support if that works better for your business.
