If they want to do this:

http://company.com/aweseome-product

-> Actually rewrites to:

http://company.com/some/deep/link/possibly/even/to/not/such/an/awesome/product.htm

and the department creates/does away with their products at a rate of
>once a week, enough for the local sysadmin to look for alternatives
to this weekly cycle of pestering... But that's just my point of
view... ;-)
