Why Did Nava Acquire Beam?
Nava PBC said Tuesday Beam has disbursed more than $400 million to over 300,000 recipients across 39 states, bringing proven technology and an experienced team into Nava’s portfolio. As part of the acquisition, Nava will transition Beam to an open-source product and integrate it into Strata to strengthen the company’s ability to deliver end-to-end benefits systems while maintaining an open, human-centered approach.
Rohan Bhobe, co-founder and CEO of Nava, said the addition of Beam will help the company better meet customer needs while reducing risk in large-scale modernization efforts.
“By strengthening our open and composable model for benefit delivery, we’re prioritizing speed to outcomes and long-term value to agencies and the public,” said Bhobe.
What Is Strata?
Nava Strata is the company’s open source architecture and tool suite that enables government and vendor teams to build and deliver secure, modern digital services with the speed and flexibility of software-as-a-service, or SaaS. It offers cloud-ready infrastructure and application templates proven across multiple federal and state programs, while helping teams avoid proprietary platforms and single-vendor lock-in.
