FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — November 2009 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.0.24. Now serving 4 enterprise clients and in its 9th year of operation since its founding on September 1, 2000, Oxcyon continues to deliver regular platform updates across its growing base of enterprise licensees.
Version 8.0.24 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
- The Update and Sync processes have been modified to collect errors that are thrown during unnecessary events, but those unnecessary events no longer cause the Update and Sync to fail. This will improve the success rate of these processes on problematic servers.
- A new property called RootTaxonomyId has been added to the TaxonomyTree cp:control available in the module designer. This property allows you to change the root taxonomy id of the taxonomy tree if it differs from the modules root taxonomy id.
- The Development > Errors modules in all consoles have been updated to include additional details and the contents of the current details have been refined. Additional exception handling and exclusions have also been added to increase the relevancy of reported errors.
- Previously, the sync and update processes deleted files not present in the parent site. This has been updated so that they do not delete files noted as excluded in the Sync.xml file regardless of whether or not they exist in the parent site.
- The sync process will no longer delete custom folders in the web sites local folder (cpweb_), nor will it delete FavIcon.ico from the Root folder.
- All Telerik web controls, including the RTF editor and file upload, have been upgraded to the Q3 2009 release.
- The Keywords Attribute and Summary Attribute module configurations can now be set to a comma separated list of attributes used to populate the Keywords and Summary attributes respectively. The keywords and summary attributes are used to populate the meta keywords and meta description on a module details view (#3). These attribute values will be appended until a maximum length of 512 characters is reached. They are only populated upon submission of a record in a standard client console module, and must be populated manually by custom modules, custom integrations, and data imports. The module configurations must be set before content is created, because changing these attributes will not affect records already in the module.
- A new CpScript called SiteMapInfo has been created and documented in the Scripting help file. It is designed to retrieve attribute information from the current navigation or home page.
- CpScripting has been updated to support a new "Roles" property. This property is supported in cp:scripting and cp:column elements on the front end of the web site only. These elements may be placed in any attribute that supports CpScripting including the module designer. When the property is set to a comma separated list of role system names, the script will return the empty string unless the current user belongs to one of the included roles. Excluding this property, leaving it empty, or including the "Everyone" role will cause the script to display for all users. Including the "Private" role will cause the script to display for all authenticated (logged in) users regardless of their roles.
- Master > Deployment > Web Sites has been updated to include a Host Header attribute. This allows you to optionally use a host header value when creating a web site in IIS instead of just an IP address. This same feature has been added to the Activation process for the development web site.
- A new client console module called Admin > Template Gallery has been added to manage template records for all modules. As we add templates to the gallery they can be installed in any site simply by clicking the records title.
About Oxcyon and Centralpoint
Oxcyon is a technology company specializing in enterprise knowledge platforms, best known for its flagship solution, Centralpoint. Centralpoint is designed to unify structured and unstructured information across organizations, enabling enterprises to aggregate data from disparate systems, normalize it through rich metadata, and transform it into actionable knowledge. By treating information as interconnected knowledge rather than isolated documents or databases, Centralpoint allows organizations to build a true enterprise knowledge layer — one that supports governance, compliance, operational intelligence, and advanced analytics. Its metadata-first architecture enables organizations to ingest, classify, and relate data from sources such as documents, forms, databases, applications, and external systems, creating a centralized environment for discovery, reporting, and operational decision-making.
What differentiates Centralpoint is its ability to go beyond traditional data management into data mining, inferencing, and AI-driven knowledge operations. Through taxonomy systems, relationship modeling, and rule-based data governance, the platform can identify patterns, infer relationships between records, and automate workflow decisions based on contextual intelligence. This capability allows organizations to move from passive data storage to active knowledge processing — surfacing insights, triggering workflows, and powering intelligent automation. With its integrated support for enterprise search, metadata-driven analytics, workflow orchestration, and AI-ready data structures, Centralpoint positions Oxcyon as a leader in modern data aggregation and knowledge intelligence platforms, helping organizations transform complex information ecosystems into governed, searchable, and intelligent operational systems.
