I developed a system (Web application) prior to my employment at this software company that I've been working at for over a year. I demoed the system to some developers that I now work with in my initial interview and they had said it was a good idea.



The system fits well with the companies existing systems and I believe it would make the company a lot of money. I have talked to my superior about the system and he said he would get back to me about it but never did. My question is now that I have brought it to the attention of my direct superior and he hasn't gotten back to me should I go directly to the CEO by way of Email/phone call? The CEO has stated before that we should feel free to call him if we ever want to run anything by him and he works in the same building as me. I feel like the idea would have to come to him anyway so I feel like I should just go over my superior and call him. What would the risks of me making this move be?
