CISCO TELEPRESENCE TOUCH (10IN)

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product suddenly becomes useless. In fact, the product still has a lot of its original value. 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.

If you’re not ready to upgrade your hardware yet, you can use TPM to help you. You can wait until you’re ready and have planned for the transition. You’ll also need to make sure you have the money to buy new equipment.

If you are working on the hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work with your equipment. When you work with TPM, you 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.

You can avoid paying too much for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skills at a lower price. They can also do more work than OEM companies. Plus, you can push back the cost of new equipment by using a TPM company. You will still need to upgrade your equipment at some point, but using a TPM company can help delay that.

While an OEM specializes in a particular type of equipment, a TPM program can focus on the needs of your company. A TPM program might be able to repair equipment in a way that causes less downtime or offer more services that are better for your company. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with some elements of an OEM and TPM support if that is what fits your business.
