Simon Austin, Business Operations Director at EIS, shares some exciting news about the reintroduction of EIS and tells us how the team is helping schools and organisations adapt and thrive during times of change - including support for the transition to Windows 11.
We’re delighted to announce the return of EIS – now the dedicated trading brand for Cantium Business Solutions, delivering IT services to schools and other public and private organisations. While the name may be familiar, this marks a new era of focused support for the education sector.
With over 35 years of experience, EIS has built a strong legacy of delivering tailored IT solutions to the education sector. Now operating under the Children & Education portfolio of Commercial Services Group (CSG), this transition strengthens our commitment to high-quality, value-driven services for schools and trusts.
"This is more than a name change. It’s a renewed focus on service delivery, closer alignment with the schools' needs, and greater flexibility to respond to challenges."- Simon Austin, Business Operations Director, EIS
One example of this is how we’re helping schools and other organisations prepare for the end of Windows 10 support (14th October 2025). Many devices may not meet Windows 11’s hardware requirements, meaning they are at risk of missing out on essential security updates. Acting early helps avoid disruption, manage costs and ensures the right devices are secured ahead of potential shortages as the deadline approaches.
Through our free Windows 11 readiness workshops, schools and other organisations receive expert support on upgrades, device planning and long-term digital strategy
