First, you have to bear in mind that much of this is buzzword bingo.
So what I have used may not be what your managers mean.

But I would guess that they mean 'SAS implementation' to mean
the process of installing all the SAS components they want, and
getting those pieces tuned properly to meet their needs.  It may
also include the programming portions needed to get their
business processes up and running.
