It's not just the IT sector either â" almost every company, be it in distribution, manufacturing, or banking, has IT services as part of their infrastructure, and these services, such as payroll or inventory management, are generally built with Java in the backend.
I work since about 1995 mostly with Java. Never heard about a payroll system or inventory management written in Java. This is all off the shelf software like SAP or Oracle stuff (which could be in Java) you simply buy or rent. No one writes his own payroll system, that makes no sense at all.
Stuff in Java are IT systems that actually describe/implement the business work. Like: * power companies planning a day ahead what plants should produce how much power during a given period of time during day. And such a power company will run their payroll by SAP.
* air lines scheduling lay overs of crews and planes

I know at least one large German electronics retailer who had wirtten the backend for their inventory and merchandise management system in Java. If you need agility in your sales processes, this makes complete sense b
