How does your company make money? Thats the priority. Make whatever they have to do.. to make money.. easier. Also, bring up Silo-effect with your supervisor and let him know you wanna go meet the other team, go take a cookie tin or some beer or whatever to the other team and introduce yourself and hang out 30mins in the morning or something just to get a feel for what theyre doing/pain poitns etc... ask questions to get a feel for how _they_ interpret the organizatiosn priorities and plans... maybe they have an entirely different paradigm/perception.
