Six months ago even Eidos Plc described itself as merely small research and development facility (CI No 2,884). Since then the Putney, London-based company has rapidly expanded its empire with a string of acquisitions that have transformed the company into a fully-fledged video games and entertainment software publisher and distributer. It has now decided the way forward is to reorganize the group into two business divisions. Eidos Technologies will house the company’s video compression software used within the video telephony and CD-ROM publishing fields. Eidos Interactive will incorporate all of the games brands, acquired via the purchase of the Donmar Group Ltd, CentreGold Plc, The Big Red Software co Ltd and Simis Ltd (CI No 2,884).
