Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 8500 12-PORT GBE POE SWITCH

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. Most of the time, the product still has a lot of its original value. If it works for your company, you can keep using it by using TPM. This will help you stretch your initial investment and keep the product working for longer.
You may not have enough money to upgrade your hardware right now. That’s okay! You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you choose when to upgrade and how to prepare for the transition. You’ll be able to do this without feeling rushed into a decision.
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 work with your equipment. Working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are performing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar skills for lower prices. In addition, the work that TPM does may be more extensive and personalized than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although you will still need to upgrade at some point, TPM can help delay that cost.
TPM programs can specialize in the needs of your company. This means that they can do a repair in a way that creates as little downtime as possible. You also have the option to purchase only the services you need from TPM programs. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
