Toyota's RMS system was a mainframe legacy system owned by FICO, but used by Toyota Financial Services for handling recovery of charged off accounts. The project I worked on was a transition off of that FICO based mainframe platform and onto a Salesforce-based platform that was already hosting all of the live and pre-collection accounts. The effort included replicating all existing functionality and building out state-by-state and municipality-by-municipality rules sets based on state- and local- debt collection statutes and interfaces with multiple collection and repossession agencies.I was responsible for reviewing the project, scoping the QA methodology and efforts for the project. This included building the plan, building a budget, soliciting bids for the work, negotiating with vendors for personnel, hiring and building out the team, managing costs, and overseeing all QA delivery efforts.I am proud of having delivered a state-of-the-art working replacement for the original RMS platform (that managed $3 billion in secured and unsecured debt) while also providing enhancements and new reporting for company agents, managers, and executive leadership so they could manage and handle both the portfolio debt, and individual debtors on an ongoing basis while providing much greater visibility.Additional Tracking and reports on the performance of:* The whole debt portfolio* Individual company agents* 3rd party collection agencies* 3rd party repossession agencies* Reports on turnaround of repossessed vehicles and auction resultsAdditional platform improvements:* Improved Salesforce browser-based user interface vs mainframe application (I was also responsible for soliciting agent feedback for improvements; collecting and verifying such improvement have been folded into application)* Improved DB recall and updates on a portfolio of 6 million+ debtors (4 second average vs 16)* Improved debtor data from data cleansing efforts (98% accuracy to 99.5% accuracy)
