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.
