Welcome to the CDX Technologies October
2017 Newsletter
We've introduced a CDXGeoData Address Verification app
that is now available for download in the Microsoft Office
Store. This app will also work on Apple iOS systems. We
also announce the end of support for CDXZipStream on the Windows XP
operating system.
Here is our latest blog posting:
Additionally, a new video is now available on YouTube
covering our CDXGeoData Service:

New Microsoft
Store Excel App for ZIP+4 Address Correction
Our CDXGeodata Address Verification
application is now available in the Microsoft Office Store. The
tool is free to use and demonstrates the output our CDXGeoData
and CDXZipStream
tools generate for ZIP+4 address correction and lookup. The
software is based on a new Javascript technology (Office.js) from
Microsoft that will allow it to work in Excel Online and Office 365
versions with Excel 2016 for both the PC and Mac. It will also work on
Apple iOS systems such as the iPhone and iPad.
This add-in will allow you to verify and correct U.S.
postal addresses. It will output a USPS standardized address along with
ZIP+4 data. The available report fields include the corrected full
address, ZIP Code, ZIP+4 Code, congressional district, county and more.
Links are also provided to our Excel templates which support bulk
address requests, distance calculations, radius analysis, demographics
and more for desktop versions of Excel with VBA.
You can install the template directly by using the
Office Store menu option. Here is an example of the output:
This demonstrates that we can move our technology to new
platforms such as the Mac, online versions of Excel and Apple
iOS. We can also develop custom
apps that include Bing driving distance and geocoding
functions which can be widely distributed to your workforce on these
platforms without user licensing fees.

CDXZipStream Windows XP Support Ending 12/31/2017
We will be ending our support of CDXZipStream on Windows
XP operating systems on December 31, 2017. Support of Windows XP
by Microsoft was discontinued in April 2014. We've been
continuing to support XP since it is the third most popular operating
system still being used on about 7% of PC's. We urge you to
migrate from Windows XP as soon as possible, not because of
CDXZipStream but due to major security flaws in that
operating system. These vulnerabilities led to the WannaCry
virus.
We will be upgrading CDXZipStream in 2018 to support
Office 2019 in a new Microsoft framework that does not work on XP. If
you have our current version or classic product installed it will
continue to work and your license to use it will not expire. But
this new version of CDXZipStream will not run or be supported on
Windows XP. CDXZipStream will still work with all operating
systems later than Windows 7.
Also, as a reminder in last month's newsletter we
announced that we will also be ending our support for the classic
version of CDXZipStream at the end of this year.
