Changing what is appended to Google search results

When I do an internet search on "uwrf jabber" (without quotes), I get a list of knowledge articles where almost all have " - contact DoTS" appended. That is exactly what I DON'T want to happen; we wrote the articles so people would not have to contact us! (I attached a screen shot and highlighted one that did not have this happen.) What do I have to change in TDX where I can have some other text appended (or none at all)?

To help problem solve, I did a similar internet search for TDX: "solutions.teamdynamix.com knowledge base" (without quotes) and attached the search results. Where does your " - Dynamix Solutions" reside and how would you change that?

*In this first step, I'm assuming this is a TDX setting and not a Google thing.

Hello Greg,

Unfortunately there's no way to configure anything like that in the product, and we didn't see any metadata on our production web pages that includes that phrase in any capacity. 

From some random searching around, it seems like Google just does this, and they've been doing it for a long time: https://moz.com/community/q/topic/37067/why-does-google-add-my-domain-as-a-suffix-to-page-title-in-serps/4

Maybe if you make the article titles longer Google would stop doing that? Regardless, whatever is happening here is going on outside of our product.
