Answer: That's fine for them. It is doubtful other ISV "solutions" will save your organization millions in a days work. No, we're sorry.
Answer: Upon successful completion of a POC, DBI will ask for a small financial token of your appreciation for the great value we deliver. Simply, costs are very reasonable and attractive licensing options are available.
Answer: Definitely BEFORE. Postpone the upgrade if you can, especially if it is a hardware upgrade. You won't need those extra CPUs when you're done with the POC. More importantly, it is very important that you be able to measure and assess the performance consequences of any upgrade. And, if problems arise, you don't want to be caught blind folded.
