Oddly, no. We're not a software company, and we don't normally sell our software. It's developed for in-house use. One of the managers thought this particular application would be pretty lucrative if we sold it overseas (our customers are all in the US), so he got permission to do so. But we really didn't know what we were doing, i.e. we had a useful application with thousands of internal customers, but on the business side we were making it all up as we went along.

In the end the product was dropped because there's a lot of effort that goes into making an application a product you can sell to other companies, and we would have had to grow our organization more than the higher-ups wanted to grow it. Things like fancier interfaces, license enforcement, documentation, packaging, 24 hour support, etc.
