Challenge

A tribal government was preparing to relocate its administration and health offices to a new building. While the physical space was ready, the facility had no IT infrastructure in place—no cabling, no access control, and no security systems.

Without the right foundation, the new offices would not only lack the tools required for modern governance and healthcare but also leave sensitive data and community members at risk. Leadership needed a partner capable of orchestrating the entire move with precision, creativity, and respect for the mission of serving tribal members and elders.

Approach

DeSoto LLC partnered with the tribe to plan, design, and execute the complete IT and security buildout for the new facility. Our approach included:

• Infrastructure Design: Engineered a modern IT backbone including cabling, networking, and secure connectivity to support day-to-day operations.
• Access & Security Systems: Implemented physical and digital security measures to protect sensitive areas and ensure a safe environment for staff and community members.
• Health & Administration Integration: Ensured systems were tailored to the unique requirements of both government operations and healthcare services.
• Seamless Orchestration: Managed the project end-to-end, coordinating vendors, timelines, and installation to ensure a smooth, issue-free transition.
• Future-Ready Foundation: Built the infrastructure to scale with the tribe’s future growth, technology needs, and compliance requirements.

Every decision was made with precision and creativity, ensuring the new space was not only functional but also secure and welcoming.

Results

The project was completed on time and without disruption, giving the tribe:

• Secure, Modern Infrastructure: A technically sound foundation supporting both administration and healthcare operations.
• Safe Environment: Elders, staff, and members can access services in a facility that prioritizes safety and confidentiality.
