    How will system integrators be impacted by the increasing prevalence of generative AI and new plugins?

    While generative AI and new plugins are becoming more prevalent, this doesn't necessarily negate the need for system integrators. In fact, it can create more opportunities. Here's why:
    1) Complexity of Integration: Each new plugin or AI tool adds another layer of complexity to the system, and integrating these tools often requires specialized knowledge and skills.
    2) Customization: System integrators can tailor solutions to meet unique business requirements, something that plugins and AI tools often can't fully achieve.
    3) Human Oversight: System integrators play a crucial role in monitoring and managing these tools, ensuring they function correctly, and stepping in to troubleshoot when issues arise.
    4) Continuous Learning and Adaptation: As new plugins and AI tools emerge, system integrators have the opportunity to learn and adapt, expanding their skill set and staying at the forefront of technology. Our OpenSkillSystem provides a structured framework for identifying, developing, and validating these new skills, helping system integrators stay relevant and competitive in the changing technological landscape.
    Remember, while AI and plugins are valuable tools, they don't replace the need for skilled system integrators. Instead, they change the nature of the work system integrators do, shifting the focus from routine tasks to more complex, strategic, and oversight roles.
