When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has most of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.

You might not have enough money to buy new hardware for your company. You have your own business to run and you don’t want to be rushed into a decision. You can use your existing equipment with the help of TPM so you can upgrade when you’re ready. Before buying new hardware, you can prepare for the transition and make sure you have the money saved up.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not be as reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more 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 technicians.

You can save a lot of money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar services for much lower prices. In addition, the scope of work may be more expansive or personalized than what your OEM offers. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in creating and selling equipment. TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to repair equipment 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.
