[edit] Partnership Network
Dan, while working for O'Reilly Automotive, Inc., assisted in several technology standards in the Automotive Aftermarket Industry. His primary project was the development of a peer-to-peer networking application called the Partnership Network.
Partnership Network is a trademarked Automotive Aftermarket Industry standard solution, adopted by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA), and was designed to reduce the overhead costs of data transmissions between the customer and supplier. Dan finished the project in late 1999 and beta tested the application with a few of O'Reilly's top suppliers for nearly a year before releasing version 1.0 of the software.
Burtchett branded the Partnership Network software, in late 2000, with the colors blue and gold; he originally designed the logo, marketing graphics, presentations, and web site before later releasing control to AAIA in 2005. Dan, also, acted as the primary Customer Service contact and support until leaving O'Reilly in 2007. Dan spent more than seven years building, maintaining, and supporting this software standard.
[edit] Internet Parts Ordering
The Internet Parts Ordering (IPO) standard was born on March of 2003. It was another AAIA sponsored project Dan worked on while employed with O'Reilly Automotive. The purpose of IPO was to reduce costs in the supply chain by creating a standard method, within the Automotive Industry, to securely place an electronic inquiry and order between the customer and their suppliers.
As the first IPO meeting got underway, the committee chair divided the IPO committee members into two smaller sub-committees: the architecture and document delivery teams. The architecture team's responsibility was to design a secure transport to deliver the XML data files that would be passed between the customer and supplier. The document delivery team's responsibility was to design a series of XML request and response data files to satisfy a real-time inquiry and order transaction. Dan was a member of both committees.
At the end of 2003, after a year of commitee meetings, version 1.0 of the standard was released, and Dan began to work on implementing the standard for O'Reilly. Then later, in 2004, Dan finished his implemention by integrating IPO into the Partnership Network application.
