Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the product still has value. The product might not work as well as it used to, but if it still works for your company, you can keep using it by using TPM. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep the product going for a while on its original investment.

You may be wondering if you should upgrade your hardware soon. But upgrading can be expensive, and your company may not have the extra money to spend right now. That’s why using TPM can help. You can use your current hardware for a while longer and upgrade when you’re ready. You can plan for the transition and make sure you have the money saved up before making a purchase.

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 these parts 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 will be repairing your equipment are experts in their field and may be more familiar with it than in-house technicians.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices for their services and they offer a skill set that is very similar to what OEMs offer. In addition, the scope of work that is included 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.

While an OEM is good at making and repairing equipment, a TPM program can better meet the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair in a way that causes less downtime for your business or offer more services that save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even combine different types of support if it fits your company best.
