Independent Third-Party Software Support of Megavendors

Independent Third-Party Software Support of Megavendors Reviews and Ratings

What is Independent Third-Party Software Support of Megavendors?

Gartner defines independent third-party software support (TPSS) of the megavendor market as a lower-cost alternative to the maintenance, support and consulting service fees charged by IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and VMware by Broadcom. Independent TPSS service providers are not authorized channel partners. They offer independent support. The independent TPSS providers have no relationship with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or independent software vendor (ISV). As a result, they cannot access intellectual property, software updates, firmware updates or security advisories, or obtain OEM/ISV Level 3 or backline support. TPSS is typically delivered via cloud-based professional services.

Features of Independent Third-Party Software Support of Megavendors

Updated November 2025

Mandatory Features:

  • Significant cost savings: TPSS services typically save 50% versus direct OEM or partner software support

  • 24/7 help desk and remote support: The TPSS provider’s support services should match the typical types of help desk and service desk incident tickets that your organization has submitted over the past 12 to 24 months

  • Customer-entitled updates and new versions: Know the currently installed version and the version you will be entitled to use when vendor maintenance and support are canceled

Optional Features:

  • Service add-ons: TPSS providers often deliver additional services such as product installations, bug finds and fixes, security patches and vulnerability protection, and performance tuning

  • Customized agreements for shorter-duration terms: Megavendor maintenance contracts typically require an annual commitment. TPSS providers are often willing to offer short-term and month-to-month support for special product-specific needs under customized service arrangements and contracts

  • Specialized services: TPSS providers typically support customized code, modifications and unique product-specific requirements — and, in some instances, improved SLAs

  • Customized contracts for increased flexibility: Organizations look to third-party providers to increase flexibility in their software maintenance and support contracts, allowing them to opt out of new and future versions and release upgrades when they deem them unnecessary and costly for the business

  • Leverage of lower-priced TPSS proposals: TPSS services continue to threaten the software vendors’ maintenance and support revenue stream. This enables procurement to use these lower-priced proposals for bargaining power when negotiating with some of these megavendors
