Excel Rating Engine Hosting
Host Excel-based rating models in the cloud while improving accessibility, consistency, and operational efficiency.
What Is Excel Rating Engine Hosting?
Excel rating engine hosting allows insurance organizations to run spreadsheet-based rating models through centralized cloud infrastructure rather than individual desktops or local environments. Many carriers, MGAs, wholesalers, and program administrators have invested significant time building rating logic in Excel. Hosting these rating engines in a controlled environment allows organizations to continue using proven rating models while improving accessibility, governance, and operational efficiency. Excel rating engine hosting is often used as part of broader insurance modernization initiatives.

Hosting these rating engines helps organizations:

Maintain a single version of the rating model.
Improve Accessibility
Allow authorized users to access rating tools remotely.
Reduce Version Control Issues
Eliminate multiple spreadsheet copies.
Improve Security
Control access to rating models.
