Case Study: Wyoming School Facilities Commission achieves government transparency with FacilityForce

Wyoming School Facilities Commission - Customer Case Study

The Wyoming School Facilities Commission, a state government body overseeing K-12 facilities, faced significant challenges managing capital construction and major maintenance funds across 48 school districts. Their previous system of nonintegrated spreadsheets and databases lacked structure and controls, making reporting difficult and resulting in widespread project overspending. They turned to FacilityForce and implemented its Operate IWMS software to establish accountability, internal controls, and transparent business processes.

FacilityForce implemented its Operate solution, providing a centralized system for financial management and reporting. This gave the SFC real-time control over project funds, eliminating overspending by enforcing contract limits. The results included fully transparent, live financial reports accessible to the public, the electronic processing of invoices and approvals that replaced a slow paper system, and the ability to account for $1.765 billion in historical expenditures. FacilityForce enabled the SFC to become a champion of government transparency and provide consistent, accurate reports to the state legislature.
