Online Ringman is a webcast system which was developed by Xcira. This system is most commonly used in live auctions. It has the capability of integrating the remote audiences to those who are onsite. Online Ringman has the capability of simplifying the access for the bidders even through the firewalls installed in their system. It also provides the capability of doing the clerical jobs remotely. Online Ringman also monitors the status of the connection of the bidder and in case of any connection issues still allows the reconnection easier. It aids in minimizing the bandwidth required for the connection. The system also offers an advanced type of functionality being used for bidding with the auctioneer. In case that the bidder has entered the live auction in the middle part, the bidder will still be able to place bids immediately. It has a tool which allows the clerk to send message to the bidder.
