Even though a manufacturer might stop supporting a product, that doesn’t mean the product is useless. The product still has a lot of its original value. If it works for your company, it is a good idea to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a while by using TPM.

Your company might not have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades right now. You have your own business to run and you don’t want to be rushed into a decision. You can use TPM to help you continue using your existing equipment. When you’re ready, you can upgrade and prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order first.

If you are working on repairing the hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as good and might 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 will be performing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

If you want to avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services, you can work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar services at a much lower cost. In addition, the scope of work offered by TPM companies may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.

OEMs specialize in making equipment. TPM programs focus on meeting the needs of a company. A TPM program might be able to do a repair in a way that creates less downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some of the features of an OEM and TPM program.
