1. Only automating some processes, while keeping others on paper.
2. Spending more time gathering the information needed for ASC reporting than actually using it.
3. Signing inflexible contracts that are difficult to get out of if the platform fails to meet expectations.
4. Insufficiently vetting a vendor’s client support services.
