At ZPI Holdings, we produce exclusive brands like ALTNET, ATS Solutions, and ATO Data, for resellers and distributors who want a turnkey solution that not only delivers an exclusive brand that generates high margins, but also offers superior alternative OEM maintenance (AOM) support at a significantly lower cost. The reality is that many IT departments face shrinking budgets with an imperative to extend the useful life of their technology investment. The problem? OEM contracts have rigid end-of-support (EOS) dates — often years before it’s necessary in real-world practice, as well as forced hardware upgrades, and inflexible vendor dependencies.Every organization needs maintenance and support without relying solely on the manufacturer. Gartner states that 71% of very large organizations already use third-party maintenance and calls it a “no-brainer” for reducing costs. Third party maintenance (TPM) provides a simpler, more flexible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional OEM maintenance. Unfortunately, TPM is often misconstrued as a lower standard of service or a lynchpin that “voids” software warranties and updates. This is simply not true. Alternative OEM maintenance (AOM) is the next-generation TPM, shedding the misconceptions of the past and paving a new path for resellers and distributors.AOM with ZPI Holdings means: • Zero risk — the benefits of a private label with no startup costs or liability.• 100% channel-exclusive — we never sell directly to your customers or partners.• Easy to sell and quote.• Flexible service options including EOS or aging equipment.• Multi-OEM support from a single vendor.• Maintenance at every stage of the support lifecycle.• Industry-leading automated maintenance quoting and contracting tools.If you’d like more information about ZPI Holdings, any of our exclusive brands, or to secure your exclusive brand with us, simply reach out to me here or by email at steve.erickson@altnetusa.com.
