I work in Germany in the private sector, medium size: 2000-5000 employees. I work in an IT Department.
Short Version:
- Boss asked to buy software for team, that i built on my own time
- I didnt build it with any Intention to sell it to my Company and its not written for the specific Needs of my company
- i responded that i feel honered but have concerns regarding compliance
Possible solution:
- a friend mentioned that its not a regulatory issue, but only Company internal, so a subjective view that can be decided internally
- potential issue could be that Budget is used for private gain without Benefit for the Company
- we could Show an overview of potential Software on the market and Show why mine is better for the Company
Question:
Does anyone have additional ideas for the section "Possible solution" or (optimally) was in a similar Situation?
Background:
For some Tasks we use Software we buy from external firms. It is not my Focus of work, but i saw that a colleague is using a Software that is Pretty expensive and seemed not really well written. I was curious if its really badly written and if one can do better. So i worked for around 3/4 year in my private time and build a tool myself.
Last week my boss told me About a Bottleneck/Problem they have with the Software and that they struggle for weeks to reach the desired results. I told him i could have a look and showed him a way how to reach the desired results a few Hours later. He was impressed and i showed him how i came up with the solution (including my tool).
Next Meeting he asked me if he can buy the tool somehow. I said, i feel really honered, but i am not sure, because of potential compliance issues.
