"Implemented" covers everything from configuring a system by hand to approving a vendor's rollout plan, so the reader can't tell which one you did. Say it: deployed or rolled out if you ran the launch, configured or built if you set it up yourself, instituted or introduced if it was a policy or a way of working.

Leave these in the thesaurus
"Effectuated" and "actualized" are what "implemented" turns into in a thesaurus, and neither sounds like a person talking.
The one thing to remember
Implementation is judged on adoption, not installation: say how many people use the thing now, or what they stopped doing because of it.
