Without requiring access to the server, Visual Studio, or the root directory, you can effortlessly configure necessary fields via Module Configuration. You can also design custom Module Designers for presentation and seamlessly integrate Data Transformation. Upon module creation, Centralpoint efficiently accepts external data through data Transformation. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with your enterprise federated search, tailored to various user Audiences, Channels, and Roles. To delve into localized Development, this 1-hour 29-minute video explains the entire process.

Centralpoint's Data Cleaner (otherwise known as Data Goverrnance) collaborates seamlessly with Centralpoint's Data Transfer utility, automating metadata and Taxonomy assignment for your content. This empowers the transformation of any information that lacks proper metadata. Regardless of the information type—raw data from databases like Oracle, IBM, SQL Access, Excel, and documents such as PDFs, MS Word, or Excel—Data Cleaner ensures metadata and Taxonomy application to each record upon import. This process allows for your terminology, product skus, laws, policies, and other pertinent information to be leveraged as a way to enrich your metadata, taxonomy and ontology....automatically.

Centralpoint's Data Cleaner covers HTML, Taxonomy, and Keywords, granting you the ability to manage condition dictionaries, including determining how many instances of a word or part number correspond to specific Taxonomy or keywords. For further insights, explore the extensive features we offer for MDM (Master Data Management).



The best way to understand how this tool can benefit your organization is to actually see it. We encourage you to set up a demonstration with us, so that we may step through the various routines online, via a MS/Teams Meeting demo, and we can address any of your questions or challenges .If you are interested in this new module, you may also want to see our Taxonomy Pre-Import Tool.

This feature also has the ability to spider all sub folders within a larger shared drive, ingested each record, and where applicable, fully text indexing, converting and preserving PDF, Word, XLS, PPT, Images, Videos and more. Additionally, the names from file folders (within the shared drive) may be included within the data cleaner/governance rules, to better organize content. Please see (below) Data Triage, which allows for your shared network drives to be ingested, allowing each file by type to be automatically organized into it's own unique module within Centralpoint.....automating the organization of all your information each day (via scheduled routines) and be made available on the internet, considerate of roles and authentication of each user.

When to consider INDEXING vs. INGESTING Data using Centralpoint Data Transformation

• Centralpoint supports both indexing or ingesting data. This is because you will want a federated search against all records, but need to preserve where some records currently live. In another case, you may need to have a new system of record or home to MOVE records into Centralpoint.
  • You may want to avoid duplication of your records
  • You may may need to consider the size of certain files (like CAD, Hi resolution images, etc.)
  • You may need to consider the security of the file paths in which your files live today and user’s network accessibility to them.
    
    
• Indexing vs. Ingesting– The difference is whether you want to leave the record were it is found (to avoid duplication) in order to make it search able within Centralpoint, or whether you want to sunset an old system, where the new record will now live in Centralpoint as it’s new home. When creating your data transformation routine, the difference will be when field mapping ALTERNATIVE URL. Alternative URL is only used when indexing, allowing the path to record to be recorded in Centralpoint (as well as the enrichment), wherein the user will be returned to the original source, should they have the access to see the record. If you are intending to move the record to Centralpoint as the new system of record, then DO NOT USE Alternative URL, and make sure each record is moved during the ingestion (via an available)  File Upload field.
  
  
• Security Consideration- Whether you are ingesting or indexing records using Data Transformation, always be sure to map the security roles from the system or path your scanning, in which to maintain who may see or access records (either indexed o ingested in Centralpoint)

Data Governance (Data Cleaner) considerations, when executing your Data Transformation.

Data cleaning is a separate module found under the Centralpoint Data Transformation suite of tools, which allow you to set up data governance rules which may work in unison with your Data Transformation routines. 

• Keyword Generator – Used to enrich, supplement or add new keywords to any record, where certain values are is found (during mining).
  • Example: If the word ‘apple’ is found, add keywords of ‘fruit, food, nutrition, pectin’ which will enhance search (searching fruit, and relate anything apple to any other record which may also relate to fruit or food)
    • What it will ask you for this routine : Search for?, attributes, add keywords
• Taxonomy Generator- Used to apply one or more metadata/taxonomy types when certain value(s) are found.
  • Example: If the word ‘apple’ is found, apply to N-tiered taxonomy under Food/Fruit, which will enhance search (searching fruit, and relate anything apple to any other record which may also relate to fruit or food)
    • What it will ask you for this routine Search for?, case sensitive?, regex?, Taxonomy
• Attribute Generator – Used to apply new values in any field within one or more modules when certain value(s) are found (during mining).
  • Example: If the term ‘Top Secret’ is found within any document, apply the value for the Role=Top Secret, to the ‘Roles’ attribute for any module. This will override the security roles for all documents which contain ‘Top Secret’
    • What it will ask you for this routine : Search for?, regex?, value to add, attribute, which modules?
• HTML Cleaner- Used to clean or scrub any HTML or code where certain values are found (during mining). Often used to fix older or bad HTML or convert bad characters from MS/Word or faulty HTML being ingested.
  • Example: Should you need to replace any fault HTML, codes or characters which includes “<b>Apple<b>, and replace with <b>Apple</b> (correcting the original faulty html)
    • What it will ask you for this routine : Search for?, replacement type (html/text), replace with?
• Attribute HTML Cleaner- Used to apply new values into certain fields into specific modules whenever certain values are found (during mining)-allowing you to apply new values to any attribute as a result
  • What it will ask you for this routine : Search for? , replacement type (html/text), replace with, attribute to add, which modules?
• Data Triage- Used to redirect certain file types into certain modules.
  • Example, when spidering a shared network drive or database, you may want to deposit all documents containing ‘Marketing’ references into a module designated for only Marketing, or place all Excel documents found into it’s own module. This is used to organize content by type (within separate modules)
  • What it will ask you for this routine: Search for?, regex (yes or no), searched attribute, destination modules, logging attribute

Centralpoint can be installed On Premise or in the Cloud, to index, ingest data from disparate silos on a scheduled basis via it's Data Transfer routines. Centralpoint can act as a search appliance indexing or ingesting siloed data to aggregate information for each user's role based search. Please see Data Transfer for more information.

Automate document retention policies using Centralpoint. It equips you with user-friendly tools for defining diverse retention policies, incorporating custom filters, queries, and start/end dates. Centralpoint also manages storage repository data, connecting to File Folders, SQL, Oracle, IBM, and third-party providers like Workday, Citibank, and ADP.

Centralpoint's scheduled feature regularly scans these repositories, as per your chosen frequency, to identify expired records per your policies. Detected files can be routed to administrators for approval of destruction. Upon approval, Centralpoint systematically eradicates records from each system, meticulously recording each step. With Centralpoint's automated document retention policy management, ongoing compliance is effortlessly maintained.

Businesses are required by law to retain confidential client, employee, and company information for a minimal amount of time. But many documents eventually outlive their purpose, and holding onto them for too long puts you at risk of a security breach and non-compliance with today’s privacy legislation. How long you store business records should be determined by a retention schedule that balances each record’s usefulness with the legal requirements. This schedule will depend on the type of business and the lifecycle of specific documents.

Below is a document retention schedule that outlines how long you should hold on to important documents. After their retention period is complete, you should ensure that they are securely destroyed by a third-party information security provider. Please note that these recommendations on document retention are general guidelines only. They are not intended to represent legal advice. Contact your legal expert(s) or federal, state or provincial government to ensure you are following current legal requirements for your area.

* Retention periods begin after the termination, expiration, disposal, etc., of the item.

Centralpoint Tableau Integration

Centralpoint integrates directly with Tableau, allowing personalization through our Global Login tools (SAML, Active Directory, oAuth, OpenID) to serve rich Tableau reporting to each user uniquely. This means one tableau report against all users, wherein the data filtered (through the tableau chart) considers the user's security roles. It also allows you to relate your tableau charts, reports and graphs to other records, via crosswalks. Tagging your Tableau charts to certain Audiences, Roles, and Taxonomy (Metadata), will allow these charts to serve to specific users, within specific sites, and even relate themselves to your other, disparate content and information. 

To ensure secure Knowledge Management tailored to each user, the right Architecture is vital. Centralpoint, developed in 2000 and updated over 20 years, prioritizes scalability. Its unique ability lies in granular tagging of records, cascading across your business's channels, taxonomical categories, and individual users based on roles.

This process involves multiple considerations for each record. Taxonomy and metadata, often multidimensional, are assigned to records. Distribution across multiple channels, such as subsidiaries or franchisees, is also factored. Centralpoint further accounts for user roles within those channels when they log in. This intricate approach guarantees effective Knowledge Management within a secure framework.

Centralpoint Health Monitor is set of tools available at the Centralpoint (Master) Server. These tools give insight into the performance of any individual or group of sites (or portals) within your environment if on premise. These tools also allow Oxcyon to monitor the performance of your site, should we provide managed hosting for you. Centralpoint Health Monitor tracks available disk space, memory, problematic requests, load time spikes (per page or site), bad links, and more. 

The Health Monitoring tools allow for scheduled email reporting as to the performance of your Centralpoint project, including all aspects of your scheduled tasks. This interface allows you to see live charts indicating performance peaks, spikes, and early detection of any process which may be placing an unusually high demand on your environment. Typically these tools are scheduled to run at predefined intervals of your peak or optimal performance periods, collecting valuable user activity data, in which to study their patterns automatically. It can also monitor incoming IP activity, and keep both Oxcyon and our client abreast of opportunities to improve upon the solution overall. For clients who do not have access to their own Centralpoint Server (where Oxcyon may be hosting the solution for the client), these reports update Oxcyon (as your managed services provider) and can also be made available to your site or portal administrator. 

This tool, found under both Import Utilities and Tools (within the client console) is a powerful way to convert your data into multi tiered taxonomy, which will ready your records for import. It was designed to assist Oxcyon staff (initially) when receiving large sets of client data, which needed to have a taxonomy built 'around it'. In this video you will see examples of why it is important, and how to use it to make your information (records, documents, products, anything), become almost instantly, search able records, organized by taxonomy....online. Only Centralpoint provides tools like this which understand the day to day realities of harmonizing your information, and one of the many reasons we have been named to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms. If you find this tool interesting, you will also want to see our Data Cleaner tool which allows you to Auto-Classify all of your information within your enterprise.

A 45 minute video to help your team plan and prepare your Centralpoint Enterprise Information Management ahead of your kick off meeting with Oxcyon. In this video, we discuss information management, governance, and how to maximize the re-usability of your content through your many channels. this video will help you see your enterprise (big picture) including the many (cascading) Audiences, Sites, Channels, and Roles of users you need to serve.

Centralpoint is used for more than omnichannel public and private enterprises. Centralpoint is also used to harness big and disparate data, empowering you with rich UI/UX to serve each and every one of your users uniquely, based on their Audiences and Roles 

Centralpoint supports agile development through it's Toolbox. The Centralpoint toolbox empowers users to call on any feature needed, and drag and drop it on to the page for use. These items could be form fields, or functions like Google Maps, Proximity Searches, Printer Friendly Icons, Related Content, anything. In this way, Centralpoint provides you with all of the tools you need to create your user solutions almost in a paint by numbers way. This is also helpful when you have multiple sites, wherein one site's functional design differs from others. Using Centralpoint's Toolbox you can easily cater to the needs of each audience or microsite, re-using the same functional elements pulling from the central data store. 

Centralpoint Toolbox also allows you to create your own code (Css, Formatted HTML, Web Service calls, anything) giving you a re-usable toolbox to drag and drop from whenever you need. 

Centralpoint supports Natural Language Search or NLS. It empower your users to find the right answer to any question faster than any other platform. It does this in part because of Data Transfer and Data Mining, going beyond fully indexing your content, and enriching your metadata, misspellings, buzzwords used in your industry and synonyms of what your users are searching.It will also allow you to feature certain records based on conditions, ahead of search results. 

Centralpoint eCommerce Catalog

The Centralpoint ecommerce catalog features products including the variation of each product (Size, Style, Color), so that users may shop the catalog, add items to their cart and check out in a PCI compliant manner. Centralpoint eCommerce catalog has been integrated with PayPal, Authorize.Net, Bank of America, Worldpay and others to ensure seamless integration of payment for products online. The captured order information (found in eCommerce Orders) may be fed live to your fulfillment or inventory management systems, so that they can receive the trigger to ship each new product ordered within the catalog. 

Centralpoint ecommerce may also allow for items added (from modules outside of the catalog) into a unified shopping cart. Some clients sell items beyond traditional products, like online training (learning), reports, and data. The eCommerce cart may interface with multiple catalogs within the same portal. Due to its ability to filter products by audience (and role), the catalog can also be syndicated to multiple online catalogs, where there are distributors (of a manufacturer) involved. In this scenario a master catalog can be maintained, and feed the appropriate distributor's microsite, displaying only the products carried by each distributor (within their own branded microsite (Audience). 

Centralpoint AI Assistant (Interstitials)

Your organization's AI is distinctive and tailored to your specific needs; it's not an off-the-shelf solution. What you require is a framework that enables you to deliver the right information to your users precisely when they need it. With Centralpoint AI Assistant, you can place knowledge at your users' fingertips even while they are using other web-based applications such as your CRM, Intranet, Help Desk Application, and web-based email.

Centralpoint ensures information accessibility for these users, customized to their roles, facilitating swift answers to queries, form submissions, and tracking of colleagues' activities. The Centralpoint AI Assistant is contextually aware, capable of analyzing the content of URLs or pages from other web-based applications. When these conditions align, the AI Assistant is triggered for your users. Through this approach, you can develop conditions that evolve over time, resulting in a unique AI tailored to your organization and its users. These tools can also seamlessly integrate with IVR systems like Cisco or Genesys.

Centralpoint offers robust support for RESTful Web Services, bolstered by encryption through our Web API. The Centralpoint Web API is an interactive module designed for both creating and consuming Web Services. RESTful Web Services, a form of interoperability between computer systems on the Internet, enable requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources using a standardized set of stateless operations.

When interacting with a RESTful Web service, requests made to a resource's URI result in a response, potentially in formats such as XML, HTML, JSON, or other defined formats. Our integration with numerous systems demonstrates the API's effectiveness, but its versatility means that integration with your diverse back-office systems and vendors can be easily achieved.

Today's TV monitors and kiosks are wifi enabled. This means that you can treat any monitor as a channel to broadcast information. Whether it be Emergency Room wait times, Cafeteria menus, calendars, or even live Tableau or BI reporting (to the conference room monitor for the board), Centralpoint can help you. Here, Centralpoint treats each of your many monitors as extensions (or websites) under your omni channel, digital experience platform, Centralpoint. Simply give any monitor the homepage of that address, and it will be streaming whatever you have tagged for it to appear. Instead of designing those (websites) around what you would expect from a desktop, instead apply CSS which makes them look like a television program, timing what content appears when. If you have touchscreen monitors, which are now affordable, let us convert it into an interactive kiosk for forms submissions, surveys, or allow them to search your products or staff via touchscreen.


Centralpoint for digital signage extends your digital strategy beyond your enterprise portal, website or mobile apps. It empowers you to manage rich multimedia (via video, overlays and dynamic content) targeted to specific locations within your organization. Whether you support a nationwide chain of hospitals, restaurants, hotels or retail locations, Centralpoint can streamline your digital signage strategy.

The average knowledge (office) worker uses it 13 hours a week, or 650 hours a year (assuming two weeks’ vacation),1 and yet email technology hasn’t changed much in the 20 years it’s been around—until now, with the introduction of the Centralpoint DITA eMail Portal, a patent pending DITA2 -based email interface by Oxcyon, Inc., a user experience platform (UXP) vendor as recognized by Gartner, Inc., a leading provider of technology research to global technology business leaders. The Oxcyon introduction is expected to help organizations recoup nearly half the time now spent by knowledge (office) workers sending and replying to emails.


As the newest version of the Centralpoint UXP, the software validates user identity; unifies disparate email and enterprise content management silos; and delivers email via other third-party providers such as Microsoft Exchange, Google, Hotmail, Centralpoint’s secure email (whose message body does not leave the server), other custom systems, and SMTP. 

The release of the Centralpoint DITA Mail Portal ensures that emails with elements (traditional or DITA-created files), when reopened, are current. For example, if a user authors a document, which includes a reference to a product and its price, and upper management changes the price of the product the next day, the document will be updated for the sender or recipient without anyone touching that document again. 

By making possible the effective management of content and data access, and by serving as a central repository of references to third-party systems, the software enables time spent on emails to be slashed. Files and send/reply messages are assembled and authored leveraging DITA. Users can drag and drop data sources (bits of information) from Centralpoint and/or other systems to assemble and send emails using intuitive menus appearing in the email interface. This makes it possible for document updates and data sources to be tethered live to the author and recipients.  

Furthermore, the menus are personalized for each user according to the user’s job function and role. These capabilities are expected to enhance ease-of-communication and facilitate greater collaboration within organizations. The software also provides standard responses for any situation and for international clients using their languages. Equipping users with the data elements they need to assemble new emails or error-free responses in seconds ensures governance over corporate communications, thus eliminating the need for a review process in most cases.

“Our DITA assembly makes email the collaborative tool it should have always been,” declares Samuel Keller, Oxcyon founder, CEO, and inventor of the Centralpoint technology. “We’ve reinvented email to allow it to be an integral part of  knowledge management, instead of a left behind silo of valuable information.” 

How does it work? It can be hosted on premise, or in the cloud and configured to work in unison with your current email. Although Centralpoint mail can work with multiple providers (Google, Yahoo, Aol, and even itself (as a secure mail provider), Microsoft Exchange 2007-2016 is the typically installation. Centralpoint acts as your employees' new central point of access to their mail. They simply log in, and begin managing their mail like they used to, but with multiple new advantages, saving them nearly 50% of the time they normally spend sending and responding to email. Centralpoint Email Portal also allows them to access exchange through any mobile device, including Apple iPad, and iPhone, without the need for any download from iTunes. Mobile app 'icons' can be downloaded directly from this solution to act as a shortcut to anyone's mail (also without the need for iTunes). This module suite is considered a separate server license and per user license fees based on access. 

Centralpoint does much more than email, that is simply the tip of the iceberg. Centralpoint is a leading Enterprise Content Management, Portal and User Experience Platform (great alternative to Sharepoint). Learn more

Centralpoint supports SAML 2.0 to support Deep links for authorized users who are logged in. You will find the Deep Links module under the Admin section of your client console. SAML 2.0 empowers you to broker authentication of your logged in members, so they may access other SAML 2.0 compliant applications with a single click (eliminating the redundancy of logging in again).

This feature is only available to administrators of the Client Console, and demystifies each page, explaining where everything is, and how to access it within one click. When you click on the items found on the page, it will return you to the Client Console, where that element can be managed. 

Centralpoint Site Wizard

The Centralpoint Site Wizard empowers you to deploy new stand alone websites (public or private) within your enterprise. The Centralpoint Site Wizard steps you through needed steps to select the appropriate design, and empower administrators over them to contribute content to the enterprise. The site wizard allows you to leverage existing styles to rapidly deploy new sites. These sites become ancestors of the main site (children, grandchildren, etc.) which mean content can be shared between the parent, downstream, and further allows the local administrator to manage content local to that site only.

Centralpoint Forms Wizard

The forms wizard is a tool for non technical users to create robust electronic forms, including the rules over workflow. This wizard walks you through a step by step questionairre, which, when completed, creates dynamic electronic forms, which allow you to triage incoming requests, trigger alerts during workflow, and even render live reporting of all of the activity against that form. 

Centralpoint Gamification

Gamification refers to a process of making systems, service and activities more enjoyable. Centralpoint Gamification allows for your users to compete to be most active in their communities. Incentives can be provided to your users (whether it be employees, clients, or partners) to get more involved and compete to be the most active participant.

Centralpoint Gamification reporting allows you to see all of your users' activity, and compares one against the other, providing incentive for users to get involved. Gamification commonly employs game design elements which are used in so called non-game contexts in attempts to improve user engagement,organizational productivity, flow, learning, employee recruitment and evaluation, ease of use and usefulness of systems, physical exercise, among others. A review of research on gamification shows that a majority of studies on gamification find positive effects from gamification. However, individual and contextual differences exist.

Centralpoint's Global Login allows for your many sales representatives or customer service agents to log in to access their activity. Whether this be in the form of issue management, or account management, Centralpoint CRM works in unison with other tools in Centralpoint, like Email Broadcasting, Business Intelligence, Alerts, Email and Personalized Dashboards to serve each user prompts as to which task or account requires activity in order of importance. As these accounts or tasks progress toward closure, Taxonomy plays a role in organizing them for detailed reporting. All tasks or accounts in progress, by their taxonomy (stage) or closed are also reported on and able to trigger alerts to others. 

Centralpoint Advertising

Advertising is supporting content that is placed around the site's primary content. These ads can consist of images, flash, video, html, or ad scripts (provided by ad-serving companies). These ads can be controlled to appear within specific zones or areas of the site, only when certain keywords are searched, and can be filtered to appear for only certain Audiences and particular users based on their logged in Role.

Centralpoint Bloggers

Bloggers are the authorized blog authors or writers within Centralpoint. They are the ones posting new blog articles to which others may respond. They might be industry experts you invite to write articles for your users, or they might be in-house employees who are thought-leaders. The blogs typically fall under a taxonomy, so that all blog articles may be classified around the type of information they address. 

Centralpoint Business Intelligence

A pivotal aspect of effective digital strategy management involves determining high-interest areas and delivering content to clients in alignment with their preferences. Centralpoint offers the means to shape your content strategy around user inclinations by capturing and reporting almost all aspects of their online interactions with you. This encompasses their prominent searches, highest and lowest user-rated content, posted comments, less-searched topics, searches yielding minimal results—all of which evolve over time.

Leveraging Centralpoint's analytics, you gain insight into user behavior patterns categorized by audience (microsite), keywords, or metadata (Taxonomy) types. We strongly advocate dedicating time to monitor and compare these activities over intervals, enabling you to refine the digital experience for individual users. These reports are customizable and can trigger alerts based on specific user activities. Rules can also be established to dynamically adjust content presentation based on this user-driven activity, automating content delivery according to direct user experiences. For more extensive user data mining, explore Centralpoint's Gamification module.

Centralpoint Crosswalks

Centralpoint Integration with Active Directory and Windows Authentication

Centralpoint's Global Login is a Single Sign-On tool that allows you to welcome each user in a unique way and grant them control over only certain types of content. Not only can you manage each user's roles, but you can also manage their entire design and layout experience, based on the role of the user logging in. When a user logs into the site's front end, this module is queried for live records and authentication is attempted using the entered username and password. 

Centralpoint Integration with CRM

Centralpoint's Global Login is a (Cross Forest) Single Sign-On tool that allows you to welcome each user in a unique way and grant them control over only certain types of content.  This allows you to authenticate each user to determine their roles, granting the right access to the right records, including the right Audience (landing page or design). Global Login allows you to welcome each user, yet return them to the appropriate channel within your site. Since every record in Centralpoint supports roles based filtering, this means everything from the design, to the navigation, to the records they can access are all managed automatically after they log in. 

Oxcyon stresses 'Cross Forest' Single Sign On, as your users could be employees, customers, partners, affiliates, or even outsiders. Centralpoint's Global Login supports authentication with Active Directory, LDAP, LDAP-S, oAuth (Google, Twitter, Facebook), Salesforce, or even custom databases you may use to authenticate (IBM or Oracle). Upon each user's log in, Centralpoint will check any and all authentication sources to determine their role(s). A user may have only one role, or may have multiple roles, within multiple channels, allowing them access to many channels within your enterprise, or may even give them the option of where they want to go. 

Centralpoint's Global Login also supports a new dimension in authentication known as Dynamic Roles. Here you may create very specific conditions beyond that of simple roles assignment. Example: Role may equal customer, but dynamic roles allows you to define any other criteria (like last year's sales >50K, or Gender=Male, or State=Ohio). Dynamic roles empowers you to narrowcast each record you manage to reach only the specific roles you need; which we believe is the pinnacle of highly personalized content. 

Centralpoint additionally supports it's own Members Module, should you need to authenticate with users found in this module. Although many clients may use the Members module for all of their many members (even across multiple roles), the Centralpoint Members module may be used for public users who wish to sign up for enewsletters, or save their preferences when returning to the site. Centralpoint's Global Login module is perhaps the most powerful SSO tool in the market today.

Centralpoint Learning Management Courses

Centralpoint empowers you to build a culture of learning. Course curriculum can serve each user based upon their role(s) and audience(s). Centralpoint will show each user which tests have been completed, which ones are still outstanding and where they rank in the ecosystem of knowledge users via our Gamification tools. 

Centralpoint Module Designer

Say good-bye to contacting your local web vendor to make changes to your site. Centralpoint's Module Designer puts the power of layout and functionality in your hands. Non-technologists can now easily change design and functionality of your site, along with the modules that serve it. Module Designer empowers larger enterprise-class clients (those clients who support many microsites) to centralize their content, yet provide autonomy for their different sites.

Centralpoint MphC (Mult-Polyheirarchical Classification)

Properly classifying data involves a multi-tiered ontology. This hierarchy comprises various levels, each defining the data's nature and context. Simultaneously, data is classified based on intended audiences or departments, tailoring content relevance. Adding another layer, data classification is influenced by security roles, ensuring access control.

Imagine this as a three-dimensional matrix of classification: the first axis delineates the data's core ontology, dissecting it into intricate facets. The second axis bifurcates data for diverse audiences or departments, aligning content with their specific needs. Lastly, the third axis encompasses data classification based on security roles, safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized access.

In practice, this means each record is meticulously tagged with metadata, departmental relevance, and security clearance. This layered approach orchestrates a finely tuned orchestration of data, culminating in a harmonious symphony of contextualized, relevant, and secured information delivery.

Another way to describe this MphC (or Multi Polyhiearchical Classification) would be "Multi-Dimensional Hierarchical Classification" or "Nested Hierarchical Classification" which refers to a classification structure that combines multiple levels or dimensions of hierarchies in different dimensions, creating a complex and multidimensional classification structure. Specifically within Centralpoint these three separate dimensions involve metadata, audience or departmental assignment and then security roles. Each of these selectors offers its own N-tiered, tree view of options allowing for all centralized information to cascade and reach each user, by audience, department, and security roles. Should one use belong 

Another way to describe this classification structure could be "Multi-Dimensional Hierarchical Classification" or "Nested Hierarchical Classification." These terms highlight the idea that the classification system involves multiple layers of hierarchies that are interconnected and nested within each other. This conveys the complexity and depth of the classification approach you're describing.


This results in a multi-tiered approach to managing your knowledge. It empowers you to distribute your information in a very granular way, to anyone (employees, clients, partners) from a singular, central point. Given that each multi selector is parental, this means that they are polyhierarchical (meaning more than tree, rather it considers the forest). Also, given that we employ three different (multi) selectors, it becomes Multi-Poly-Hierarchical. We didn't invent the term, it is simply what is called. The reason you may not have heard it before, is because we are the only vendor in the world to employ this architecture (fully, and to this level). It is also the only way that you will ever successfully centralize information within your organization, and with out it, will have to depend on multiple technology to simulate it.

Centralpoint 'MyPortal' or Personalized Portal view

Centralpoint Dashboard Widgets (found under Members)  allow for a personalized portal view for any user, empowering them to configure what data they see from your back office, in a composite (My Portal View). In this way, they can configure what information is important to them, and upon revisiting the portal, they will be shown the latest information that they have selected. These widgets often include Web Services, Data Sources, RSS feeds, and dynamic content feeds (that the user selects) as being important to them.....making it a personalized experience. 

Centralpoint Navigation

Centralpoint's Navigation is an important and essential building block of your enterprise. The Navigation module allows for the creation, deletion, and modification of navigation items, which will be used to render the website navigation. These navigation items can be classified by Audience and Role to create distinct website navigations. The "Parent Item" attribute is used to build a hierarchy of your navigation items. 

Centralpoint's Digital Experience Platform serves as an omnichannel Knowledge Management and content management ecosystem. This universal platform caters to organizations of all sizes and industries.

Centralpoint Policies and Procedure Manual

Centralpoint's Policies & Procedures module streamlines the way organizations manage their policies. This module suite allows you to easily create or update policies, routing them -- via email -- directly to the right administrator for review. Once reviewed and approved, they are automatically released to the site. This way, the parent Procedural Manual can be downloaded "fresh off the press" with the most recent changes. 

Centralpoint Responsive Design

Centralpoint empowers non-developers to building world class web designs and functions, yielding the best CSS, with our Drag-and- Drop, WYSIWYG controls.  

Centralpoint Roles (AD/SAML/oAUTH)

Centralpoint integrates out of the box with Active Directory, SAML, Okta, Ping, Peoplesoft, Twitter, Facebook, Salesforce, and others. Centralpoint also supports it's own members module, for those users not found within your network security (like legal counsel or advertising partners). This allows you to welcome all users securely, regardless if they are employees, partners, auditors, or even clients (which might live in a CRM system). Centralpoint also supports custom authentication (including two factor or greater) which allows you to serve all users, from a singular technology....or a central point.
Centralpoint also provides a way for one click access into other applications, once a user has authenticated called Deep Links. Here you can broker the authentication (provided by Centralpoint upon their log in) to/with other applications to make their access to other applications more seamless, and less frustrating.

Centralpoint's Search & Replace tool enables you to search and replace content within your site. You can apply specific filters to search and replace only the information you need. This tool is especially helpful in the event of a product or service name change, and it allows for all historical, archived records to be changed, as well.

Centralpoint Syndication (XML, RSS, Json and other)

Centralpoint's RSS and XML Syndication empowers you to distribute your content to anyone you desire. This tool allows administrators to create RSS and Atom feeds, as well as populate XML files with data from Centralpoint modules. This module allows administrators to create filtered results from one module at a time. This tool also allows you to feed live data from your site to others, including the ability to feed and support third-party applications, such as iPhone applications. RSS, JSON and Atom feeds are common syndication types to feed third party applications, and even stand alone mobile applications. 

Centralpoint Taxonomy

Centralpoint's Taxonomy module is responsible for maintaining a hierarchical list of your website's taxonomy, essentially a library that manages all classification types. Taxonomy serves the purpose of categorizing a website's data, and it can be filtered by audience. Every website has a default Root or Main Taxonomy item, and descendants of this item can be uniquely created within each website.

The Centralpoint Taxonomy module is both vital and essential for your enterprise. It acts as a library that manages all classification types. Since Taxonomy can be tailored to the needs of each module, it provides control over classification for various content types, both at the module level and enterprise-wide. This allows for the establishment of relationships between distinct records. Taxonomy operates hierarchically and supports N-Tiered classifications for every module (content type).

Furthermore, Taxonomy is employed to display related information within your site. For instance, if a user discovers an article about automobiles, related articles, products, or parts for sale related to that type of automobile (e.g., a Ford) can be displayed. You can also tag your article with relevant tags like "Automotive" and "Ford," and even drill down to more specific automobile types such as "Mustang" or "Sports Car." Essentially, the deeper you classify your information, the more relevant and useful the content becomes for users. This approach makes it easier for users to find specific articles, such as a guide on repairing a 1964 Ford Mustang dashboard. (For more information, refer to Module Properties and MphC.)
