What 'ike does

'ike Family of Companies is a privately held, Hawaii-based holding company founded in 1975 by Dan Arita and currently led by CEO Creighton Arita, operating a portfolio of seven to eight subsidiaries across technology, healthcare IT, healthcare delivery, senior care, and consulting. The technology arm, anchored by DataHouse (founded 1975) and supplemented by Pacific Hi-Tech and DataHouse Asia, delivers IT consulting, software development, and cloud and mobile solutions to government, healthcare, banking, and education clients, leveraging Hawaii's time zone for round-the-clock service delivery. Healthcare is the strategic center of gravity: TeamPraxis provides electronic health records and practice management through an Allscripts partnership reaching approximately 15,000 providers nationally; 'Ekahi Health System operates the 'Ekahi Ornish Reversal Program, the 'Ekahi Wellness diabetes care program, and the 14-physician Central Medical Clinic; HQPO functions as a quality physician organization; and Sagely offers cloud and app-based senior care technology to more than 25,000 seniors across Hawaii, the US mainland, and Canada, with subscription pricing for calendar, newsletter, digital signage, and family engagement features.

The portfolio generates revenue through a mix of professional services (DataHouse technology consulting and Ambient: Consulting on Purpose), subscription and licensing (Sagely senior care platform, TeamPraxis healthcare IT), and healthcare delivery services ('Ekahi Health clinical and wellness programs reimbursed by HMSA and Medicare). Distribution combines enterprise direct sales, the Allscripts channel for TeamPraxis, payer partnerships (HMSA, Healthways), and direct sales to senior living communities for Sagely. Customers include major Hawaii healthcare entities, national health IT partners, and senior living operators; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts indicated for enterprise technology engagements.

The company is owned by the Arita family and describes itself as financially sound, investing to hold subsidiaries in perpetuity. Strategic activity from 2015 through 2018 — including the acquisition of Central Medical Clinic, the launch of the Ornish and 'Ekahi Wellness programs, the addition of Ambient and DataHouse Asia, a $1.5 million Sagely funding round, and senior leadership additions — reflects a deliberate build-out of an integrated healthcare and technology ecosystem rooted in Hawaii but extending nationally and into Asia.
