Overview The Stanley Works is known worldwide as a leading manufacturer of tools, hardware, and specialty hardware products for home improvement, consumer, industrial, and professional use. A long-time customer of Oracle's Hyperion software, The Stanley Works wanted to implement a Web-based data delivery system that would allow for the transmission of data with the same quality and assurances that came with the existing enterprise environment. In 2005, the company completed its migration from Hyperion Enterprise to Hyperion Financial Management. The Stanley Works now uses Hyperion Financial Management as the company's financial consolidation engine, extending flexibility and nimbleness through Web-based capabilities to over 400 users worldwide.
