AAIA Annual Report 2008 - (Page 8) connecting to strategies and solutions AAIA expanded its leadership role in driving out costs and increasing business efficiency through the use of standards-based technology. The Technology Standards & Solutions Committee has empowered the aftermarket with data standards such as the Aftermarket Catalog Enhanced Standard (ACES) for electronic catalogs and the Product Information Exchange Standard (PIES) for product information. Business partners are connected with modern technologies such as Internet Parts Ordering (IPO), PARTnerShip Network, Sales Information Standard (SIS) and i•SHOP. 2008 represents a tipping point for standards adoption in the aftermarket as the number of formats that suppliers have to support has actually gone down for the first time in decades. Adoption of the major data and communications standards has accelerated in recent years, helping drive increased ROI from investments in standards-based technology. 8 A A I A A N N UA L R E P O R T 2 0 0 8 A Y E A R O F CO N N E C T I O N http://www.aftermarket.org/Technology.aspx
