FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — December 2009 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.0.25. 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 8.0.25 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
- The sync, update installation, and restore processes have been updated to use an App_Offline.htm file to take the sites offline instead of using IIS. This permits us to use display a message while the site is offline, and will allow the site to successfully sync when it is not set up properly in IIS.
- Additional error handling has been added to the scheduled sync to help determine the cause of failed scheduled syncs.
- All 301 redirects have been updated to use fully qualified URLs to help search spiders access the site.
- The installer program has been enhanced to run faster, be more informative, look cleaner, include more accurate progress notification, and handle errors better.
- The old installer will no longer work and should not be used.
- The new installer will only work with version 8.0.25 and later.
- Includes support for host headers with the master web site in IIS.
- The installation package download has been removed from the package and can even be done manually. To speed up the installation you can manually download the latest installation package from http://www.aranon.net/Uploads/Updates/Centralpoint_v8.*.*.zip. Manually create the Centralpoint folder and place the installation file within before running the installer program.
- Changes have been made to the Activation, Deployment, Update, Backup, and Restore processes so that Centralpoint can be installed and run in a dual server environment. These processes now all support a new Master > Admin > Properties attribute name "SQL Server to Centralpoint UNC Path". Running Centralpoint with a separate SQL server may speed up sites, but it will slow down these and other process based on network permissions, speed and interference.
- A bug has been repaired in the Site Architecture > Module Designer module that caused an error to be displayed when a record was submitted by a user who did not have access to the related module.
- A bug has been repaired in the Media popup displayed from the RTF editor. It only occurred when a new file was uploaded and the Select button was clicked on the upload view which caused a system name to be generated and used without validation. If the same system name had been generated 10 times previously it would cause a duplicate system name and an error message would be displayed. Now, when a duplicate system name is generated, the user is redirected to a view allowing them to manually change the system name and prevent the problem.
- A bug has been repaired in the console grid view search over automatically generated id fields that caused an error to be returned when the keywords were not a valid GUID.
- New items have been added to Admin > Template Gallery for commonly used forms and the creation of a marketplace dashboard.
- The Dynamic Scripts CpScript now supports format strings (e.g. format='
{0}
')
- Marketplace Comparison is completed and ready for use.
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.
