When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. As

If your business is like most, you may not have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware. That’s okay! You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you make the decision to upgrade when you’re ready. You can plan for the transition and make sure you have the money saved up before making a purchase.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. In this case, you may need to turn to less-than-reliable manufacturers for the parts you need. However, working with TPM will give you access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, 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 work done or a more customized service than what you would get from an OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to fix your equipment in a way that creates as little downtime as possible. Or they might offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with some of the features of both OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
