Taking Risk Out of Actuarial Spreadsheets

The flexibility and familiarity of the Excel spreadsheet makes it the chosen tool of actuaries for creating complex risk models that drive premium rates and revenues for all insurance operations. However, those vital spreadsheets also cause profound challenges and risks for the organization at large and for the software development teams that support it. The Actuate e.Spreadsheet Engine transforms Excel spreadsheets into Java components that developers can embed seamlessly into Java applications. When an insurance system requires a premium rate, the engine calls the spreadsheet, passes it parameters, calculates its formulas, and returns the results to the Java program.
