If a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that doesn’t mean the product becomes useless. In fact, it still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it’s 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.

You might not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop using your old hardware. You can use TPM to help you continue using your old hardware until you’re ready to upgrade. You can plan for the upgrade and get your finances in order before buying new equipment.

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

You can save money by working with a TPM company instead of an OEM. TPM companies have cheaper prices and the same skill set. You may also get more services with TPM than you would from an OEM, and you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to fix things in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that can be better for you. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with parts of OEM and TPM support if that’s what works for your business.
