When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it does not become useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it 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.

You may not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. That’s okay! You can use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. This will let you upgrade when you’re ready and have everything planned out. You can also prepare for the transition so you’re ready when it happens.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. This can be a problem because the parts may not be compatible with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have 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 save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. In addition, the scope of work with a TPM company 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.

TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They can do repairs that create as little downtime as possible or offer more services. 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.
