An upgrade to SP9 "could" be done by yourself, but it is not recommended. The reason is that there are a number of changes to the core to support the removal of client configurations that were needed for Firefiox & IE. You cannot use an SP5 database with SP9 - they need to match the code tree.
The unfortunate, sort answer is you will need to rebuild a new SP9 environment. You can try to move some of your data with AML queries to speed up the process. But this needs to be done in order.
This is the huge value point of the subscription. You may want to look at that and see if you can gain any traction with your leadership there - value of subscription vs. cost to pay for consultant. Based on your product I am sure there is value for your team in all of our applications from requirements management, to quality, to manufacturing process planning. You can even user Aras as a CRM...we do.
Sorry this is not the answer you want. I hope we can keep you in the family!
