Pito Salas is a Curacaoan-American Cambridge, Massachusetts-based software developer. While working with the Lotus Advanced Technology Group in 1986, Pito Salas invented a next-generation spreadsheet concept which was released by Lotus in 1989 as Lotus Improv. In their book ''Pivot Table Data Crunching'', authors Bill Jelen and Mike Alexander call Pito Salas the "father of pivot tables" and credits the pivot table concept with allowing an analyst to replace fifteen minutes of complicated data table and database functions with a few seconds of dragging fields into place. In 1996 Salas co-founded eRoom Technology, Inc. with Jeffrey Beir and served as the company's CTO until it was acquired by Documentum in 2002.〔http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=1134368&privcapId=29992&previousCapId=29992&previousTitle=eRoom%20Technology,%20Inc.〕 He is a principal architect of the BlogBridge Newsreader software.
