In my experience, the word *implements* is commonly used in two ways, 
nearly opposite to each other. Ex:

   My company just implemented a version-control system.

Did your company (1) write the code for the version-control system, or 
did it (2) put the system in use, by downloading an installer from the 
Web and executing it?
