PLANTATION, Fla., May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DJSP Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: DJSP, DJSPW, DJSPU), one of the nation's largest providers of processing services for the mortgage and real estate industries, has appointed Norman E. Gottschalk III to the newly created position of Chief Information Officer and Vice President effective May 24, 2010.

The company opted to create the position when it was presented the opportunity to bring on board a pioneer in the computer field. Mr. Gottschalk is credited with serving as the brain child for programs that are now industry standards and used by national entities.  

"We are extremely excited to add Norman to our senior management team in the critical role of CIO. We value his extensive expertise and recognize that his talents are an excellent fit for our electronic platform as we transition to a paperless environment. He has a deep understanding of the technology, systems and processes that are pivotal to our success. He brings a level of experience and professionalism to the new position that will benefit DJSP and its shareholders immediately and over the long term," said David J. Stern, President and CEO of DJSP.

Mr. Gottschalk has more than 25 years of experience in the IT field, most recently as Director, Business Development, SoftwareAG (webMethods). Prior to that, he was Senior Vice President Application Development, Lenders First Choice where he was responsible for the architecture and development of a new enterprise SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) platform for Title and Escrow leveraging BPMS technology to provide true workflow with real time visibility and process excellence throughout the organization.

He spent more than 13 years at FISERV (General American Corporation) where he was VP Information Technology. He was project owner of a vendor management platform for the title settlement and appraisal industry, which the company released internally in 1998. The huge success of this program motivated the company to sell the product externally just one year later. The platform was and is still considered the defacto standard in its market. While at Fiserv, Mr. Gottschalk also designed and implemented the back end of the first successful closing platform implemented by Freddie Mac.

"This is an opportunity to join an outstanding organization with a clear and dynamic strategy that is well positioned in a market with tremendous opportunities for growth. The management team is entrepreneurial, aggressive and has a strong track record of achievement. They have the business model and technology platform in place to execute to their strategy and this is an ideal time to join them and contribute to their ongoing success," Mr. Gottschalk commented.
