The company is using old proprietary software that breaks unless a specific java version is used. And don't want to upgrade/switch because it is too expensive.

This is why you have a shell company JUST for your employees that need to use Oracle.

You mean for the employees that will write Java?

"Oracle" is usually about the DB, and that is paid by the core.
