Is Working With OEM Good Or Not?

By Dorothy Brooks


Nowadays, people have several ways on buying the items they want or like. Before, they need to travel far distances to arrive at malls on do some shopping. But now, with the use of internet, everyone can just search some items on Google and then some online shops will appear. All they have to do is to browse the items and search their choices. However, some would come across with items that are inexpensive and it makes them very suspicious whether that item is durable or not. Well, you might not react like that OEM engine parts arrow since those products are genuine.

Perhaps whenever someone is going some software or hardware shopping, many would encounter Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM. Those might be common to several IT experts but for common civilians, their brows might knit after hearing its name. Besides, the only thing that matters to them is that as long as what they bought work then everything is fine. Anyhow, OEMs are those manufacturers that create original components and then distribute to their clients or companies who will sell it and brand it as their own.

But in recent time, this term had been applied to describe those manufacturers that are reselling a product from another company and marking it with their own name and brand. But usually, the process goes into many ways. Generally, they produce some products and then distribute it to retail markets. Recently, some OEMs have been selling their products more widely and sometimes to the public directly. This was because technology specifically in computers have been evolving and people wanted to upgrade some parts of their PC from the one who originally manufactured it.

Mostly, people sometimes misunderstood and misused this term with VAR or Value Added Reseller. Value Added Reseller adds some services or customized products to end-users, making their products increased its value. To understand it even more, VAR directly sells their product to customers while OEMs sell in business to business mode.

Usually people are not always aware of how their items were originally made and as a result, they have no idea with OEM. Despite that, many companies are partnering with them. In return, they need to pay huge cash to OEM providers and sign some documents just to get their parts and vend it.

You may be wondering what companies are OEM. A good example is ASUS. ASUS is a Taiwanese company known for making electronic devices such as computers and phones. Another example is Microsoft which makes Windows OS or operating system and became a well-known industry in the world.

First of all, working with OEMs give you some advantages. Their responses are pretty quick with an on-time delivery. So whenever you got some problem with your item, for example, some parts of your car, you may call them for help. Because they are known for producing original components, you will not be worry about the state of their replacement parts.

If some parts of their computers are broken, they may go directly to the makers and receive some replacements that are certainly genuine. Aside from that, buying OEM product is much inexpensive. Its warranty might be different with retailed versions but at least it surely save you some money.

Companies can certainly gain advantages in working with them. Moreover, the products are really in good quality. Therefore, working with an OEM is certainly fine.
