Preventing BMS 'Vendor Lock'
![Visual Visual](http://ddctoolbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/db-ss-1.png)
I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on the best ways to prevent vendor lock when installing a new BMS system. In case that isn't a term used everywhere it means that it is easy to limit who can work on a BMS due to hardware/software constraints which seriously limit your ability to change contractors after the system has been installed.
I believe the Niagra platform allows this as long as the vendor does not lock down the system (using NiCS). Any insight or resources would be very helpful!
