Most of the software company's development team--about 40 engineers--works in Austin, Rick Cortese, Evoke's president, tells GlobeSt.com. It has a smaller development site in Boulder, CO. "We've been gradually expanding over the course of the past 12 months," Cortese says. "The Austin engineering and the help desk for customer support have outgrown their existing facility so we're moving to bigger space."

Cortese says the staffing growth is moving apace with the demand for its product, software that companies use to profile their customers. Founded in 1996, Evoke has been in Austin for about 4-1/2 years, Cortese says. It had rounded up $25 million in fifth-round funding in late 2000.

Evoke is moving into Riata's Building 7, which was vacated by Janus Corp. when it shutdown a call center. Greg Johnston of Austin-based Colliers Oxford Commercial represented Evoke in the deal and Jay Lamy of the Staubach Co.'s Austin office acted on Janus' behalf.
