CRISTAL Potential: The CRISTAL System and VCAD (VideoCad, Inc.) are still in the developmental phase and have not yet been released commercially. However, applications using CRISTAL have been successfully developed for individual clients, and the viability of the system as an information management shell has been corroborated. Additionally, this research has demonstrated that applications appropriate to the needs of the preservation process can be assembled using CRISTAL (see Section 4.2.0).
