Most people assume Excel is the problem in insurance operations. But what if it's actually the perfect foundation for something more powerful? Bryan O'Neal, our Head of Sales Engineering, takes us through a quick demo on how to turn an Excel-based specialty rating model into a fully functional API in minutes with #CoherentSpark. Step 1??: Identify and tag your inputs/outputs in Excel Step 2??: Upload to Coherent Spark - our platform converts the entire workbook into production-ready code and exposes it as an API Step 3??: Seamlessly plug into your policy admin system, underwriting workbench, broker portal, or wherever you need to interact with your model At the end, you get an API-driven, governed, and fully connected insurance rating model - all built on the Excel logic you already trust.

It amazes me how quickly technology can evolve. A few years ago, automating a process like this would have taken me weeks/months to do, but now I can do it in an afternoon. ?? In this video, I show how I used Coherent Spark + Python to automate a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) calculation. See exactly how I can take a manual, error-prone task and convert it into a fast, scalable, and auditable one. A few years ago, I would have had to: 1?? Manually re-code Excel logic into Python 2?? Test & validate the Python code to my Excel file 3?? Write more Python code to connect the logic to the data Today, here is what I do: 1?? Spend a few minutes tagging up the existing Excel logic 2?? Convert the Excel logic to C++/API with Coherent Spark 3?? Use AI to write me Python logic to call the API, connect to data, and log every calculation In this example I used an RMD calculation, but this concept can be applied to reserve calculations, rating algorithms, data transformations, pre/post-actuarial model processes - really any business logic in Excel Coherent #ExcelAutomation #APIs #Python #DigitalTransformation

What would your team do with 30% more time each year? If manual pricing cycles take up even a fraction of that, how much potential is being lost year after year? Some carriers are stuck in endless rate adjustments, while others are automating and moving faster. When pricing updates happen in real time, actuaries and underwriters can shift their focus. Instead of managing spreadsheets, they’re refining risk models. Instead of reacting to market changes, they’re anticipating them. Instead of keeping up, they’re setting the pace. Where would your team add the most value if manual work wasn’t in the way? ?? Read more about the silent tax of manual pricing: https://hubs.la/Q03cJQ7B0 #GroupBenefits #Insurance #Automation

?? Underwriting shouldn’t be a patchwork process. But too often, rating rules and pricing models are scattered across spreadsheets, legacy systems, and disconnected workflows—slowing down decisions and increasing risk. What if you could unify everything in one place? In our latest blog, we explore how insurers can eliminate fragmentation, streamline underwriting, and bring speed, accuracy, and scalability to pricing models.
