implementation

In an information technology
(IT) context, software or hardware implementation encompasses all the post-
sale processes involved in something operating properly in its environment,
including analyzing requirements, installation, configuration, customization,
running, testing, systems integrations, user training, delivery and making
necessary changes. The word "deployment" is sometimes used to mean the
same thing.
After the process for any hardware or software implementation project moves
through the planning stage, companies should gradually test the new system
until it is ready to fully go live. A pilot program, where a small test group within
the company runs the system as part of a trial for a finite period of time, is
often a key component to any implementation process.
