THIRD-PARTY MAINTENANCE BENEFITS WHO?

As corporations try to maximise data centre uptime while minimising annual spending, it's no wonder that the cost-effective option of Third-party Maintenance (TPM) is becoming more common. 

While cost has been and will continue to be a significant driver of TPM market growth, IT managers are increasingly turning to third-party maintenance due to discontent with OEM services.

More than 75% of IT managers have switched to TPM due to their OEM's failure to respond quickly to changing business needs. IT managers' concern with OEMs derives from a lack of flexibility, as evidenced by unexpectedly early End of Life dates, a lack of individualised support, and the inability to integrate numerous platforms.

The point is that third-party maintenance benefits businesses of all sizes and across all industries. If you're looking for a flexible service provider who will adapt to your demands rather than the other way around, consider the specific and cost-effective expertise of third-party maintenance. This post will go over five frequent scenarios in which clients of all shapes and sizes have discovered considerable value in TPM due to Thomastech cooperation.

LOWER OVERALL SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE COSTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

A hybrid strategy is always recommended for a corporation looking to decrease overall support expenditures. You may quickly transfer older equipment to Third Party Maintenance support while keeping some of your newer equipment under the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) contract with Thomastech.

PROLONG INFRASTRUCTURE'S REFRESH CYCLE 

When a manufacturer determines that a given item has reached its end of life (EOL), they will usually suggest a hardware update to their most recent (and most expensive) version of the hardware. While extensive support contracts are still available, contract renewal will dramatically increase, putting it in the same price range as a product upgrade. This pricing structure is a frequent strategy used by major manufacturers to make the upgrade option appear more appealing and persuade customers to spend vast sums of money on product replacements—but it may not be necessary.

IMPROVE THE LIFESPAN OF ESSENTIAL TECHNOLOGY 

It's common for businesses to have outdated equipment that they continue to use amid a lapse in coverage. With sky-high setup costs to renew the contract and pressure to maintain the budget plan in check, extending the range isn't always monetarily feasible. As a result, many firms choose to accept the risk and continue using it without support. However, with TPM, you do not have to forgo help to save money – and you should not. While a little pause in service may appear insignificant, unprotected durations of any length can be costly. Unplanned downtime is the most severe issue a data centre may face, so going without service should be avoided if possible.

CHOOSE THOMASTECH

Thomastech has extensive expertise in increasing the life of our clients' existing EOL and EOSL systems at a fraction of the expense of OEMs. Slow periods, lost data, and costly last-resorts can be prevented with Thomastech's ongoing support coverage.

Thomastech's third-party maintenance helps you prevent making unnecessary upgrades to well-functioning equipment. The expense of replacing critical infrastructure can run into vast sums every few years. Still, third-party maintenance and support alternatives to extend the life of existing hardware could help defer a large-scale hardware replacement for as long as feasible.
