As the changing of software/service is a painful task because of re-training and data migration, schools get bounded with vendors/companies even if they are getting better products/services at cheaper prices.

Some software offered by local people/companies had been closed down in the past, leaving schools helpless un-ethically. It is very easy to start a school software business today without proper knowledge of technology because of international software markets and the reduced cost of technology. That is why more people are trying this business and shuts down easily without loosing much.

Many schools had been provided free software with some kind of paid products/services (example- ID cards, Publication books, etc.). There is nothing wrong until school is satisfied with that paid product/service but once they try to get better product/service at a cheaper prices they again feel bounded because of losing/changing of free software provided by existing vendor. So, schools need to avoid such fake-free services which are not really free.

It takes much time and effort to change the backbone technology of software. Most of the software is outdated for today’s use. Many available softwares are not user-friendly and have poor data security.

It has been found that some un-ethical service providers had sold data (contact numbers) to marketing companies for different campaigns. Usually, these service providers are those who first provides services at very low cost then misuse the data to generate profits.

It is a very bad practice that some service providers charge for premium SMS service but actually provide very low-quality SMS service to generate more profit. Even some of them are providing fake SMS delivery data.
Some providers are still charging very highin spite of the drastically reduced costs of technology.
