When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is suddenly useless. It still has a lot 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 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 money to spend on upgrades, you can continue to use your old hardware with the help of TPM. You can upgrade when you’re ready and have your finances in order. This will help you prepare for the transition.

If you are fixing your own hardware, you may not have easy access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work well with your equipment. Working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be repairing your equipment are experts in their field and may know more about it than in-house technicians.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have much lower prices and the same skill set. You also get more for your money. With a TPM company, you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

TPM programs are different from OEMs because they focus more on the needs of your company. TPMs might be able to fix your equipment in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that are better for you. Some TPMs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some elements of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
