When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has value and can be used if it works for your company. 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 don’t have to worry. You can use TPM to help you continue using your old hardware. This will give you more time to save up money and figure out when the best time for an upgrade would be. You can also plan for the transition so that everything goes smoothly.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the original parts. This can be a problem because the replacements may not work as well or may be less reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that are designed to work with your equipment. In addition, 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 by working with a TPM company instead of an OEM. TPM companies have cheaper prices and the same skill set. You may also get more services with TPM than you would from an OEM, and you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

There are two types of companies when it comes to repairs and equipment – OEMs and TPMs. OEMs specialize in a certain type of equipment, while TPMs offer more services that cater to the specific needs of your company. TPMs might be able to do a repair in a way that creates less downtime for your business or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of both OEM and TPM support if that’s what works best for your company.
