As a Synopsys customer, you obviously realize how important it is to maintain a leading-edge design environment. You want to maximize the investment you've made in Synopsys tools because you know that the faster you adopt the latest EDA technology, the more productive your team becomes and the more differentiated your products will be. It's part of your competitive advantage.

Synopsys Professional Services is expert in Synopsys' technology-leading tools and platforms. Benefiting from our close ties to the tool developers, extensive and ongoing employee training, and a broad resume of customer project experience, our design consultants are uniquely proficient in the practical application of the latest EDA technology to solve the toughest design problems.

You've made the right choice. Synopsys' EDA portfolio is the industry's leading suite of tools for developing complex chips. Of course, maintaining our technology leadership means that we continuously enhance our products with the most advanced features to address nanometer-scale design – from concurrent multi-corner/multi-mode optimization in IC Compiler™ to variation-aware static timing analysis with PrimeTime® VX. Synopsys Professional Services helps you take immediate and full advantage of all of Synopsys tools' capabilities and run time improvements, rapidly integrating them into your production flow and applying them in real-time to your most critical designs.

Designing complex ASICs is difficult enough without not taking full advantage of the best the EDA industry has to offer.

Synopsys Professional Services' Tool & Methodology Deployment services include:

• Auditing and migrating design scripts for new tool versions
• Methodology consulting to advance design methods and practices
• Multi-site or multi-project CAD support
• Application of new tool features through project-based design assistance, for example,
  • Design Compiler Ultra: Library-aware mapping and structuring, data path optimization, critical path re-synthesis
  • IC Compiler: Concurrent multi-mode, multi-corner optimization, advanced clock tree synthesis and post-route optimization, physically-aware scan-chain optimization, signal integrity (SI) and Multi-Vth leakage power optimization, multi-voltage power optimization, MTCMOS leakage optimization, yield optimization
  • PrimeTime SI: ILM/ETM-based hierarchical static timing analysis, delay calculation, on-chip variation (OCV), SI sign-off
  • PrimeTime PX: Comprehensive power analysis extension, vector-free analysis, NLDM/NLPM or CCS modeling

Corrent Corporation
"We have a methodology in place, which is very repeatable, and our processes are under control. Synopsys provided a lot of value quickly."

Brecis Communications
"It was a balance of the Synopsys tools themselves and expertise using the tools that was of significant help implementing the chip."

Agere Systems
"Synopsys began by creating synthesis scripts, moved on to modifying RTL code, and eventually helped architect and develop some of the ASIC functions. They were excellent engineers and we rewarded them with more work. They quickly assumed a role at the core of our APC development team."
