Summary of Purpose, Goals, and Benefits: 

The United States Mint's numismatic retail systems are currently supported by the Integrated 

Retail Information System (IRIS). IRIS is comprised of systems, applications, and business 

processes, all in constant communication to effectively support the USM's sales function for 

numismatists and the general public. While the retail sales system was state-of-the-art at the 

time of implementation in 2001, United States Mint has failed to implement vendor-provided 

upgrades to the application software, resulting in an environment that fails to meet United States 

Mint business needs and presenting unacceptable risks. Specifically, the operating system and 

application software cannot be supported through standard service contracts and are

unsupported by their vendors. Additionally, the hardware is no longer manufactured and cannot 

be replaced with new equipment in the event of failure. Some general facts about the USM 

numismatic business:

• 269,310 unique purchasers, with numismatic revenue of $106 million and 1.5 million 

units sold as of FY2016 (February).

• 546,114 unique purchasers, with numismatic revenue of $444.4 million and 5.4 million 

units sold in FY2015.

• 550,659 unique purchasers, with numismatic revenue of $504 million and 5.7 million 

units sold in FY2014.

It is imperative that the USM replace the current IRIS environment so it can conduct its business 

in a productive, reliable and secure manner. The primary purpose of this initiative is to replace 

the outdated systems and eliminate the risk of IRIS environment failure. The objective is to 

replace the systems supporting the numismatic business process and to provide United States 

Mint customers with an experience that keeps pace with advancements in both technology and 

business functionality in the retail industry. The OMS II will specifically address Strategic Goal 

3: Responsibly expand the numismatic program.
The scope includes:

• Replacing the IRIS environment with state-of-the-art capability. This includes 

replacement of the OMS e-Commerce Web platform, infrastructure, Warehouse 

Management System, and Contact Center Operations.

• Integrating the new solution with USM internal and external systems that provide 

financial and inventory control, and payment processing functions.

The USM will contract with a full service provider to meet the end-to-end e-commerce needs of 

the retail sales business.

Return on Investment: 

• In addition to the enhanced capabilities that the new system will provide, there will also 

be non-financial benefits including improved business processes and the utilization of 

cloud computing. 

• The financial benefits include contracted savings calculated as the difference between

the IRIS "As-Is" scenario and the full service provider. 

• In addition to the reduction in the number of internal resources required for contract 

administration and improved internal processes, there will also be cost saving

associated with reducing order fulfillment/inventory management staff. 

• The opportunity cost of avoiding a break in service that would negatively impact the 

USM revenue generation was not factored into the return on investment as a benefit.

Accomplishments and Future Objectives: 

In FY2014, the USM worked with the full service provider to capture and define the 

requirements, create a unique site design and release a solution that keeps pace with 

advancements in both technology and business functionality.

Overall Objective

• Replace the current Order Management System that is at risk for failure since it is 

well beyond its expected life span.

• Implement an Order Management System that will improve and assure stable 

service to United States Mint numismatic customers.

• Understand and incorporate unique voice of customers (investors, casual collectors, 

resellers, etc.) to provide a best in class customer experience.

Subordinate objectives

• Provide effective governance and project management oversight over budget, scope, 

and delivery timeline.
• Maximize best acquisition management, project management, and business 

practices throughout project development and implementation.

• Identify and utilize an effective outsourced solution with minimal customizations, 

extensions, and enhancements.

• Preserve government brand with outsourced solution.

• Redesign business processes to the software solution, as necessary.

• Evaluate and rationalize existing processes (e.g., pre-orders and household limits).

• Implement the program in phases wherever necessary.

• Lower costs in out-year IT development or business costs by making prudent 

decisions today during OMS development. 

• All out of scope systems and applications will be treated as separate initiatives 

requiring their own business case and funding (e.g., content management program 

and data warehouse).

Summary of Purpose, Goals, and Benefits: 

This investment represents the United States Mints end user hardware (desktop, laptop, 

handheld devices), peripherals (local and shared printers), software (operating systems, office 

automation suites, messaging and groupware), and help desks.

• The Mint has approximately 1,661 internal end users.

• The Mint inventory of IT Assets reveals 1,009 desktop workstations, 652 laptops, and 

327 handheld devices are supported by the IT Department.

Return on Investment: 

This investment provides support and services to the Mint's end users who require those 

services to perform their functions effectively and efficiently. The Mint produces more than 24 

billion products per year using only 1,715 employees. It would be impossible to produce such 

output without heavy mechanization of the manufacturing processes, and digitization of the 

sales and marketing, and the administrative operations. Return on investment (ROI) is 

generated using a standard financial analysis cost model. In 2005, the ROI was calculated as 

25.12 percent. It has not been re-calculated since.

Summary of Purpose, Goals, and Benefits: 

The United States Mint operates four production facilities in Denver, CO; West Point, NY; San
