IT hardware is an essential factor in business continuity, but maintaining it can be costly. Many organizations think they rely on expensive maintenance contracts from manufacturers to keep their IT systems operational. Fortunately, there is a more efficient and cost-effective alternative: Third Party Maintenance (TPM). Third Party Maintenance extends the life of your IT hardware and saves up to 70% on maintenance costs, without compromising quality or reliability.
What is Third Party Maintenance (TPM)?
Third Party Maintenance is a service contract for IT equipment offered by a third party and not by the original manufacturer (OEM). This means that companies can continue to benefit from maintenance and support for their hardware beyond the manufacturer’s warranty.
TPM provides support for End-of-Service (EoS) and End-of-Life (EoL) devices, meaning you can use your IT assets longer without forced upgrades to new systems.
The benefits of Third Party Maintenance
- Save up to 70% on maintenance costs – Lower costs than OEM contracts, with no concessions on service.
- Flexible service contracts – Choose an SLA that suits your organization, from standard maintenance to 24/7 support.
- Fast on-site repairs – Our certified engineers provide fast service and support across Europe.
- Longer life of your IT equipment – Avoid costly replacements and extend the useful life of your systems.
- Sustainable IT strategy – Fewer replacements means less e-waste and lower carbon emissions.
Why choose Third Party Maintenance instead of OEM support?
