CISCO STEALTHWATCH FLOW SENSOR 1000

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, the equipment is not 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 are no 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 extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you don’t need to worry. You can continue using your current hardware with the help of TPM. That way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have the finances in order.

If you are repairing the hardware yourself, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. This can be a problem because the parts might not work with your equipment. You can solve this problem by working with TPM. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

In addition to savings, TPM may include more work or be more personalized than what your OEM offers. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to repair your equipment in a way that causes as little downtime as possible. They might also offer more comprehensive services that can provide a better deal for you. 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.
