ADV4 Upgrade


Advantage 4.0 Upgrade

The Wyoming State Auditor’s Office is upgrading the State of Wyoming’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which consists of the Wyoming Online Financial System (WOLFS), Human Resource Management (HRM) and InfoAdvantage, from version 3.11 to version 4.0.

WOLFS is the financial component of the ERP system, HRM is the human resource management and payroll component and infoAdvantage is the reporting component.  The new version is set to go-live in April, 2023.

An upgrade steering committee was organized in January, 2022 and meets monthly.  The steering committee was formed to provide updates and gather input from key stakeholders about the status of the 4.0 upgrade project. 

Three subcommittees report to the steering committee: (1) configuration and training; (2) communication and outreach; and (3) technical. A general project plan, including separate training, testing and communication subplans are being implemented as part of the upgrade.  Click here to view information about the project.
