- Likely TCO components (based on vendor messaging and typical notary-office software conversions):
- Migration/conversion project effort (vendor references experience with conversions and project guidance).
- Training and change management (new workflows, portal usage, Wwft processes).
- Integration work (Outlook integration, chain software integrations, potential custom API work).
- Ongoing compliance updates (Wwft and other regulatory-driven workflow changes).
- Potential "hidden" or underestimated costs:
- Legacy data clean-up and process reengineering during migration.
- Workflow customization or template/model management (especially if offices rely on complex template libraries).
- Security/compliance procurement (if ISO/SOC reports are required by larger organizations—though notary offices may vary in such requirements).
