As far as help goes, we actually don't need technical help. (I won't expand on this, of course.) It is mostly a matter of getting permission. As far as an administrative system for asking, there isn't such a system. My understanding is that permission comes most reliably through personal contacts with company insiders. Asking legal departments is usually counterproductive -- after all, if you worked in a legal department, what motivation would there be for you to say anything but "no?" Saying "yes" has all the possible downsides and no apparent upside.
