When a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, it doesn’t mean the product suddenly becomes useless. The equipment still has most 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.

You may not have enough money to upgrade your hardware right now. That’s okay. You can use TPM to help you make the most of the equipment you have. You can upgrade when you’re ready, and you can plan for it by preparing your finances.

If you are working on your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem if you need to get your equipment fixed. You can solve this problem by working with TPM. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be repairing your equipment are experts in their field. They may know more about your equipment than in-house technicians do.

By working with a TPM company, you can avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies offer similar skill sets but at a much lower price. 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.

While an OEM specializes in their equipment, a TPM program can focus more on the needs of your company. A TPM program might be able to repair your equipment in a way that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more encompassing 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 elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
