Capacitas is sponsoring and attending the IDC UK FutureTech Summit, bringing together CTOs, IT architects and technology leaders shaping the next era of enterprise IT.
Architecting the Intelligent Enterprise
AI is no longer a side initiative; it is becoming core to business growth. Over half of CXOs expect revenue gains from AI, and 77% of CIOs rank implementation and scaling of AI as their top priority for 2026.
To succeed, organisations must recalibrate not just tools, but mindset, architecture and leadership. This decisive pivot moves enterprises from isolated pilots to scaled deployments, demanding data, systems and people ready to support autonomous, AI-driven operations.
IDC research shows IT budgets for AI, cloud and edge will rise to 15–30% by 2027, signalling a region-wide commitment to modernising technology foundations and accelerating innovation.
Thomas Barns: The AI Value Equation: How to stop it going wrong.

Keynote session: 11:20am
Demonstrating value from AI is hard. Scaling it is harder. As adoption grows, cost, performance and business outcomes start pulling in different directions, and most organisations lack a clear strategy to handle the trade-offs.
Drawing on Capacitas’ work as a technology optimisation partner to a global travel platform and a leading consumer app, both operating at global scale, this session sets out the equations that will shape company growth in the AI era: where value leaks away, why it gets harder at scale, and what the organisations getting it right are doing differently.
