I second John. Not only is documentation available, but even demo instances
are available that help to build an ecosystem that helps in marketing of
SNOW.
Last but not the least you must know the strategies that competitors are
using...you might learn a thing or two..doesn't hurt :-) !

BMC also has the online ITSM  demo instance available for those who want to 
test drive since atleast an year to my knowledge. You just need to provide 
a few details to sign in.
It is not as open as SNOW where you don't even need  sign in but still not 
too cumbersome to sign in.

They used(not sure now) to also give VM images with preinstalled stack and 
sample data through their sales channel  for customers want to test drive 
in their local servers.

The test drive instance does not really bring out all the goods the way
SNOW demo instances do. SNOW is selling the ease of development concept as
much as ease of use through Demo instances.

Here are a few thoughts. Separate Support Staff from admin and provide
another admin option to log in. Give SR development access to show how
easy it is to develop SRs (with Service request Designer). Provide Data
Loader access to show how easy it is to upload data. Provide proper admin
access to show multiple integration options. Highlight AI/Pentaho that
ships with Remedy.

Process Designer needs to be chipped in to actually show the value of
graphical approach to designing flows/SRs etc.
Those are USPs for 8.1 and should clearly come out. BMC can go a step
further and link certain simple Do It Yourself exercises and relevant
demos/discussions on Youtube (some excellent stuff out there from BMC)  to
admin and support staff demo instance (as for Analytics).
