In November 1975, DataHouse was born.

It was the vision of a local boy named Dan Arita who could see the writing on the wall: computers and technology were going to radically change the way Hawaiʻi does business—in both the government and private sectors. “DataHouse foresaw and actively prepared for the wave of automation in the state,” recalls Dan. “I knew that software development would be a good, clean business for Hawaiʻi. And providing high tech jobs here would help stop the brain drain.”
