The presentation discusses switching from an older interface engine called ConnectR to a newer one called CIE. It covers compatibility, performance, efficiency, scalability, productivity and advanced technology as benefits of switching. Migration considerations discussed include skills needed, project planning, timelines and documentation.

Some of the main benefits of switching discussed are improved compatibility, performance, efficiency, scalability, productivity and access to more advanced technology. CIE also aims to provide tools to scale services up without significant training and help reduce ongoing implementation costs and improve the speed of interface development.

Main factors to consider in planning a migration involve assessing skills needed, creating a project plan and timeline, documenting processes, and planning for interface enhancements. It also discusses assessing systems connectivity, standards, technical environments, required environments, security policies and performance metrics.
