In the third quarter of 2017, Tim Hayes, the executive vice president and general counsel of Atlanta-based Ocwen Financial Corp., found his company in a challenging spot.

He needed to transfer mortgage service rights, which represented loans of over $100 billion, to another party in a two-month period. To do so, his team had to review 15,000 agreements and consider 300 data points from 2,000 mortgage servicing deals.
