The Xilinx Synplicity Alliance Series solution includes products and services provided by both Synplicity and Xilinx. 

Front-end design entry tools include Synplicity's Synplify HDL synthesis and HDL Analyst, a schematic viewer and design evaluation tool. To complete the FPGA/CPLD design flow, designers would need the Xilinx Alliance Series package for design implementation, i.e. to place and route design.
