Sitka

Sitka Technology Group, founded in 2008, specialized in developing and managing knowledge infrastructures for conservation, restoration, and sustainable development. The company combined people-focused consulting with systems design and software engineering services to create healthier and more sustainable ecologies, economies, and communities. Sitka's expertise included data systems assessment, design, development, implementation, and management. Their knowledge infrastructures were utilized for various projects, including watershed partnerships and international programs.

In January 2022, Sitka was acquired by Environmental Science Associates (ESA), a California-based environmental services firm. The acquisition led to the creation of ESA's Technology Services practice, with Sitka's 36-person team joining ESA's operations. Following the merger, Sitka's co-founders Matt Deniston, Brian Knowles, and Keith Steele assumed leadership positions as Vice Presidents within ESA's Technology Services practice, with Deniston serving as Practice Leader.

In November 2023, Sitka joined forces with AristaMD, a digital healthcare company specializing in eConsults and referral management services. This merger aimed to expand cost-effective and timely specialty care access. As part of this consolidation, Sitka's established virtual specialty provider group, Sitka Medical Associates, and video consults were integrated into AristaMD's eConsult services. The combined entity offers solutions that facilitate provider enablement, care coordination, navigation, and timely access to care, supporting organizations in their quality measures, including Medicare Star Ratings.
