If a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, the equipment is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can use the product for a longer time by using TPM.

If you’re not ready to upgrade your hardware yet, don’t worry. You can still use your existing equipment with the help of TPM. That way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have everything prepared beforehand. You won’t have to rush into a decision because you feel like you need new hardware.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the parts that the manufacturer (OEM) provides. In this case, you may need to find less-than-reliable manufacturers to get the parts you need. However, working with TPM will give you access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can avoid high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar skills at a much lower price. In addition, the work that they do 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. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making and selling specific types of equipment. However, there are also companies that offer Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) programs. TPM programs focus on the needs of your company instead of just the equipment. TPM companies might be able to do a repair in a way that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more encompassing services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, 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.
