When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. 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.

If your hardware is about to reach its end of service life and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, you can continue to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM. This will allow you to choose when you’re ready to upgrade, and you can prepare for the transition by having your finances in order. When you’re ready, you can purchase new equipment.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to parts made by the original manufacturer. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that are guaranteed to work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in their field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

Save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They can do the same job as an OEM but for a much lower price. Plus, with TPM you may get more work done or a more customized service than what you would get from your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making specific types of equipment. TPM programs, like NorthSmart, can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more encompassing services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
