In the world of Building Management Systems (BMS), independence matters.
While multinational building system integrators offer global reach and recognisable brands, more and more property owners and facility managers are turning to local BMS specialists like SCSA – and for good reason.
Independence Matters
SCSA is proudly independent. That means we are not locked into proprietary systems. We have the freedom to select the best technologies from around the world — solutions that are truly fit for purpose. All our technology partners undergo a rigorous selection process based on technical merit, ease of integration, and the ease of doing business – including availability of local support and spare parts.
That’s why Reliable Controls, designed and manufactured in Canada, has been one of our preferred technology partners since 2008. We also work closely with Tridium, and Conserve It – offering open platforms and analytics solutions that are adaptable, scalable, and reliable.
Why It Matters for Building Owners
Independence means flexibility. It also means you’re not locked into a single provider or long-term licensing model that restricts future improvements. And most importantly, it means you maintain ownership and access to your building’s data.
Owning your data gives you the power to:
- Benchmark performance across assets
- Reduce lifecycle costs through smarter upgrades
- Make faster, data-informed decisions
- Avoid vendor lock-in and improve bargaining power
Many global system integrators aim to “own” your building data – locking out other suppliers and creating dependency. At SCSA, we take the opposite approach. We believe in collaboration. We work openly with Master System Integrators, engineers, mechanical contractors, facilities teams, analytics providers, builders, and owners to deliver the best outcomes.
If you want open systems, long-term value, and collaboration that puts your needs first, go independent.
