Software Quality Analyst II

Project: Accounts Receivable Automation Project

DESCRIPTION: Apollo Financials currently handles the Invoice creation, Discounts, Early Payment discounts, Matching, Promo discounts and Drop adjustments in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) using a batch process. Dealing with activities in batch mode, causes overhead in both the time to deal with large sets of data, as well as making it necessary to run clean up processes that match data based on changes made during the batch runs. This also introduces delays in matching invoices to payments and applying discount (also referred as adjustment) to open invoices.

AR automation process using BPEL is being implemented to eliminate the non-real-time batch processing approach that is currently being used for all the above processes. A service-oriented architecture for this integration to accomplish this task. Using service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architecture developed that will clear the hurdles presented by the current process. This approach can be accomplished by breaking down the current process into its component level sub-processes identified as services. Using this approach known as loose coupling, services can be connected and tied into the all the above process to achieve the objective of the current solution.

Project: National Qualifying Center (Q-Task)

DESCRIPTION: The University of Phoenix has a dedicated call center to qualify all student leads before they are sent to an Enrollment Counselor at the campus. This call center is called the National Qualifying Center (NQC). The purpose of the NQC is to contact potential students, or "leads", "qualify" them by asking a series of questions, and then hot-transfer leads to an enrollment advisor. The qualifying center reps (QCRs) perform over 160,000 attempts to contact per day, and the number is expected to grow. The Q-Task project is the design and development of a web-based application with goals to streamline the lead qualification process, reduce training time, enforce a consistent set of operational goals, and provide detailed reporting. Because qualifying leads is a complex process requiring multiple applications, one of the main goals was simplification of the qualification process. To accomplish this, the call script and resulting hunt group determination matrix have been integrated directly into the qualify leads application, resulting in a simple interface on a single screen; all the heavy lifting is done by the system.
