Implementere

Implementere is a verb used in Danish and Norwegian to denote putting a plan, decision, system, or design into effect. It describes the process of translating a concept into a functioning reality, and is common in fields such as information technology, business management, public administration, and engineering. In IT and software development, to implement means to develop, integrate, and deploy a feature, module, or interface according to specifications. In project management and policy work, it refers to carrying out the steps required to realise a chosen solution.

The word is typically used with nouns such as løsningen, planen, or systemet. The corresponding noun forms are commonly implementering in Danish and implementering or implementasjon in Norwegian, depending on dialect and context. In everyday language, speakers may also use native verbs like gennemføre or realisere as close equivalents in certain sentences.

Etymology and usage notes: implementere is a loanword from English “to implement,” adapted to the phonology and spelling of Danish and Norwegian. It is widely understood in both languages and appears across technical, managerial, and governmental discourse. The term emphasizes execution and deployment rather than mere planning, and it often appears in discussions of system rollouts, software delivery, process changes, and regulatory compliance.
