Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO GBE SFP GBIC

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if the product 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 you don’t have a lot of money to spend on new hardware, you can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. That way, you can take your time and upgrade when you’re ready. You can also prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order first.
If you are repairing the hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This can be a problem because the quality of the part may not be as good. However, if you work with TPM, you will have 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.
By working with a TPM company, you can avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies offer similar skill sets but at a much lower cost. In addition, they may include a wider range of work or personalize the service to better meet your needs. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by using a TPM company. Although an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. TPM programs might be able to do a repair that creates less downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
