Implementation is the carrying out, execution, or practice of a plan, a method, or any design
for doing something. As such, implementation is the action that must follow any preliminary
thinking in order for something to actually happen. In an information technology context,
implementation encompasses all the processes involved in getting new software or hardware operating
properly in its environment, including installation, configuration,
running, testing, and making necessary changes. The word deployment is sometimes used to mean the
same thing.
