Schools run some of the most demanding IT environments anywhere: hundreds of student devices, filtering obligations, tight budgets, staff who teach rather than troubleshoot, and data that absolutely must be protected. Electric Software has served Michigan schools for years, and education remains one of the deepest parts of our practice.

Why schools stay with us
Our school clients tell us the same things: student access to technology expanded, teachers got tools that work, security improved, and it all happened within budget. One school administrator put it simply: we helped them deliver engaging instruction while providing support they can trust.
We understand the rhythm of the school year, summer projects, September crunch, testing windows, and we plan around it.
Private schools, public districts, and enrichment programs
Our education clients across Lansing, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids include private and faith-based schools, enrichment centers, and student-focused nonprofits. Whether you have a technology coordinator who needs co-managed backup or want IT fully handled, we fit the arrangement to your school.

Common questions
Do you manage student devices and filtering?
Yes. Device fleets are imaged, enrolled in Microsoft Intune, and managed through their lifecycle, and we configure content filtering that meets your obligations while staying workable in real classrooms.
Can you work with our school's budget cycle?
Yes. We plan technology purchases and refreshes around your funding calendar, provide lifecycle forecasts for budget season, and keep monthly costs flat and predictable so there are no surprise invoices mid-year.
Do you work with faith-based schools?
Yes, faith-based schools and organizations are a significant part of our client base. See our IT services for churches and faith-based organizations page as well.
We have a technology coordinator. Do we still need you?
Possibly, as partners. Our co-managed IT arrangement gives your coordinator enterprise tooling, security oversight, escalation depth, and coverage during breaks, while they keep day-to-day ownership and their knowledge of your building.
Technology, managed by people.
The real McCoy: real oversight, real understanding, real answers. Start with a free IT and security check.
