What we do

The systems a facility runs on.

Physical securitySee what happened and prove it, because video, access and alarms land on one timeline you can search by door and by time.
Network and managed ITOne compromised device stays one compromised device, because operational traffic is separated from office traffic by written policy.
Radio and communicationsA lone worker can call for help from the far end of the site, because coverage was modelled at design and then measured on foot.
Audio visual and pagingThe meeting starts on time, because the room is a standard kit repeated across sites and it is checked before you walk in.
Design and consultingThe conduit is in the wall before anyone needs it, because the systems were specified while that was still cheap to change.
Systems integrationAn operator learns one position instead of five, because the systems are made to talk to each other rather than sat next to each other.

gawáŋ

gah-WAHNG/ɡəˈwãː/

The name

A constructed word

It joins two languages on purpose.

Gawáŋ is a constructed word. It is not lifted from a dictionary, and it does not belong to a single language. It joins the beginning of an Anishinaabe verb to the end of a Dakota one, so that both languages spoken across this territory are carrying the name at the same time.

Anishinaabe root

ganawendan

gah-nah-WEN-dun

To care for something and keep it safe.

In Anishinaabemowin this verb carries an obligation, not a service. You keep something because it was entrusted to you. The name takes its opening syllable, ga-.

Dakota root

awáŋyaŋka

ah-WAHNG-yahng-kah

To guard something and watch over it.

In Dakota this is active watching: eyes on it, over time, on purpose. The name takes the stressed middle, wáŋ, which is also where the accent and the nasal ending come from.

Together

gawáŋ

gah-WAHNG

Two languages, one word, one promise.

These words are a promise to our clients and part of our culture. We care about the people we work with, and we take pride in supporting what we build for them.
