Gainesville automation company acquired by Naviant

Madison, Wisconsin-based consulting and tech firm Naviant announced last week that it has acquired Versivo, a Gainesville-based business process automation provider.

The financial terms were not disclosed, and the company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Founded in 1986, Naviant helps organizations improve how their work gets done by using automation, artificial intelligence and more efficient processes. Versivo was created in 2006 and specializes in providing products and services that streamline operations for government and commercial organizations.

“Versivo has built a strong reputation for exceptional customer care, and we’re thrilled to join forces with their talented team and valued customers,” said Naviant President and CEO Michael Carr in a statement. “ We believe this acquisition will elevate everyone’s AI and intelligent automation journey to the next level.”

Carr said the company was “excited to personally welcome Versivo customers and team members into the Naviant community.” However, he did not specify how many Versivo employees would join the combined company or what roles Versivo leadership would play.

“Becoming part of Naviant allows us to accelerate innovation and expand what’s possible for our customers,” Versivo President Brett Thompson said in a statement, adding that the combined companies are “well-positioned” to help customers achieve more through automation and AI.

Earlier this year, Naviant was included on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Its services include AI, agentic AI, intelligent document processing, enterprise content management, content portals, process and task mining and robotic process automation.
