What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL IBM AS/400 9402-40L

As a If your products are End of Life (EoL) or End of Service Life (EoSL), you may feel like you have no choice but to get new products. This can seem very expensive and it also means losing the value of your old hardware. However, if you keep your equipment, you can still get support from us. However, this will be without our Official Manufacturer Support (OEM). This might make you worried about how you will deal with any technical difficulties or breakdowns in the future. You might also be concerned that your hardware will not work properly as new software and technologies come out. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for IBM AS/400 9402-40L

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, that product is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is helpful to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s system, you can use the product for longer by using TPM.
You may be wondering if you should upgrade your hardware soon. However, you may not have the time or money to do so right now. That’s where TPM can help. You can continue to use your current hardware while you prepare for the upgrade. This will give you time to save up and make a decision that is best for your business.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This can be a problem because the other parts you find may not be trustworthy. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are performing the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and offer similar skill sets. They can also do more work for you than your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.
TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that can provide a better deal. 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 fits your business.
