Is there a market for it beyond your employer? Ownership issues aside, if you're creating software for just one potential customer who hasn't even solicited you to create it, you're running a very high risk that they won't purchase it, even if it does fulfill a need they have. At least if there are other potential customers, you have a better chance of your time not being completely wasted.
