What Centralpoint is
Centralpoint is an enterprise digital experience platform for bringing organizational data together, transforming and governing it, and enabling search and inference across that information. Its Federated Search Appliance indexes structured and unstructured content across systems and can run on premise, in a private cloud, or in a hybrid environment. Organizations can build employee intranets, member portals, dealer extranets, partner portals, customer portals, and other role-based experiences. Deployment options include on-premise, cloud, hybrid, and private-cloud configurations, including Azure, AWS, and Google environments. Centralpoint supports SAML, Microsoft Entra ID, IAM, Active Directory, and LDAP identity integrations, along with listed connections such as Algolia, Okta, Google, Excel, SQL Server, Oracle, OLE DB, and ODBC. Its Web API provides encrypted REST services with GET and POST methods and optional access-token security. The software requires Microsoft Windows and Microsoft SQL Standard or Enterprise. Pricing is on request, with a free trial but no free plan.
