Insurance and Actuarial Teams: Modernizing Legacy Lotus Models

How insurers can convert old pricing, claims, actuarial, and underwriting worksheets for review and migration.

Insurance and Actuarial Teams: Modernizing Legacy Lotus Models

This guide is written for insurance operations and actuarial teams who need to recover useful records from Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets without sending sensitive files to a cloud converter.

Legacy models still have business value

Actuarial assumptions, claims development sheets, underwriting calculators, and pricing models can remain useful years after the platform that created them is gone.

Converting locally lets teams review historical assumptions without risking regulated customer or claims information.

What to verify after conversion

Spot-check dates, currency formatting, formulas, and hidden sheets where possible. Use PDF snapshots for audit evidence and XLSX for deeper review.

Outputs to keep in the migration package

Lotus 1-2-3 Converter supports XLSX, PDF, HTML, Markdown, CSV, XLS so the same archive can serve human review, analytics import, compliance retention, and AI/RAG preparation.

Final checks before you archive the originals

Keep the original Lotus files, review a sample from each folder, and store conversion results in a separate output location. For regulated or client data, document who ran the conversion and where the resulting files were stored.
