to mean
'bedeuten' and 'implizieren' can both say that something else follows from a statement or situation. 'bedeuten' is more general and more direct: something has a certain meaning or a clear consequence. 'implizieren' is used when something is not said explicitly, but is logically or indirectly implied. The words can be confused because both have to do with meaning and consequences. If the consequence is stated clearly or is very direct, 'bedeuten' fits better. If something is only between the lines, 'implizieren' is more precise.
