Evoke Software raises $4 million

Data profiling company Evoke Software has raised $4 million in a fifth round of funding led by current investors RRE Ventures, Tudor Ventures and Wheatley Partners, the company announced Friday. San Francisco-based Evoke, which has raised a total of $55 million, plans to use the money on sales efforts and to reach its goal of becoming cash flow-positive by the first quarter of 2003. Reflecting the general downturn in spending, Evoke has recently expanded and repackaged its data profiling software, which essentially cleans data of inconsistencies and redundancies, to work with smaller projects.
