Go to lunch with some people from the technical departments in your company. They can tell you what their department does. Seek out managers if you can - they should be able to tell you how they all fit together to make the company and product run, more than lower-level techie types will (they may just give you a bunch of way technical stuff that won’t help, and may just confuse you).
