2015 has already been a big year for Nitro. We’ve reached our 500,000th customer and we’re quickly approaching our 10th anniversary (what!?). As our CEO, Sam Chandler, so eloquently puts it: 2015 is “Year 1 of Chapter 2.” So what does the second chapter entail? Well for starters, we’re scaling our team worldwide (#GrowNitro).

Too often we talk marketing in webinars or at loud, action-packed mixers – which is why Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast by John Wall and Christopher Penn, is such a delightful divergence from the norm.

Much like buying the right ingredients makes for a successful (read: delicious) dinner, adopting the right tools is key to achieving a tech company’s #1 goal: innovation. So when Nitro wanted to take SaaS by storm and bring smart documents to everyone with Nitro Cloud, we went hunting for a technology platform option that would allow this in a scalable and flexible way.

For some of us, thoughts of the ’90s induce warm memories of flannel shirts and grunge rock. As we get older, those memories just get sweeter and more nostalgic – kind of like an early John Cusack movie. Unfortunately for a few of our favorite technology products, such as, say, an aging browser plug-in architecture, while they too might hold fond memories, they can also contain some pretty serious security issues. And this is why Google Chrome has decided it’s time to phase out support for NPAPI plug-ins.

Set against a backdrop of a grand brass band, sumptuous lights and applause, Nitro CEO Sam Chandler took to the stage at Crown Palladium in Melbourne last night to accept his award as the national emerging category winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, from Australian sporting legend and Tour de France winner, Cadel Evans.
