At most large companies things are organized in such a way that internal teams are your "paying users". Some internal teams at some companies even say "If you want X feature and Y support you need to request $$$ funding and N people for our team".

I don't know much about Sears. I've mostly worked as a Software Engineer and know other Software Engineers.
