FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — August 2012 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.4.2. Now serving 21 enterprise clients and in its 12th 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 8.4.2 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
- The database maintenance routine has been updated to more efficiently shrink and re-index both SQL Server 2005 and 2008 databases. The process log has also been updated to store the size of the database before and after the maintenance stored procedure runs. This routine can be scheduled or executed via Master > Development > Utilities > Database Maintenance on Selected Site(s).
- Master > Content > Web Sites > Properties has been updated to properly display the properties of the selected web site.
- Master > Web Sites > [WEB_SITE] > Properties has been updated to replace file upload controls with standard text boxes and remove validators. This change supports web site root relative paths in the User, Audience, Taxonomy, Ecommerce, and Resource Properties attributes to be submitted and updated from the master console.
- New records created in the Site Architecture > Administrators now have both checkboxes checked next to Accessible Audiences > All Audiences. This prevents a problem which prevented administrators from easily selecting only the Main audience for these records.
- Centralpoint has been updated to gracefully remove duplicates in data relationships like Audiences, Taxonomy, and Roles. In the past, an error would be returned when the same taxonomy was associated with one record more than once. Centralpoint now automatically removes the duplicates and successfully creates the desired relationships. This problem typically occurred when data was created using an outside source via Forms and Data Transfer.
- The System.ServiceProcess assembly will be automatically added to the master web.config file so that the Centralpoint Agent windows service can be managed by future updates.
- Scheduled tasks have been updated to more gracefully recover from database connection problems.
- The scheduled Clean Up process has been updated to ignore file deletion errors while cleaning the Temp directory, and to check that directories exist before cleaning them.
- The Select Command Builder has been updated to prevent ambiguous column errors by prefixing column names.
- The DataSource CpScript has been updated to support in the Empty String option of the Empty Item attribute for the Raw HTML Formatting option.
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.
