Third Party Maintenance (TPM)

What is Third Party Maintenance?

Third Party Maintenance (TPM) refers to the maintenance and support of IT hardware by external service providers instead of the original manufacturer. TPM services include repairs, spare parts and technical support, often at a lower cost and with longer support periods than those of the manufacturer.

Advantages and possible applications

TPM offers cost savings and extends the useful life of older hardware that is no longer supported by the manufacturer. It enables companies to use their IT budgets more efficiently while ensuring reliable maintenance. TPM is often used in data centers, large enterprises and critical IT systems that rely on stable and long-term hardware support.
