If a company stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product is useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or where it fits in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.

You may not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. That’s okay! You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you prepare for the future and make sure you have the money saved up before you buy any new equipment.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem, because the parts may not be as reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more 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 on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. 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 do a repair in a way that creates less 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 even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
