Most large-scale SaaS providers have a channel through which they sell because customers want someone who is involved with other parts of their IT infrastructure, too; but more importantly, there's a lot of vertical solutions that can be built by third parties on these platforms that make the SaaS offering much more useful to consumers.

We have some *pats company on back* nifty ideas for microprocesses which could be sold ala marketplace to very specific industries performing a very narrow function(s). These processes have real value today albeit you likely wouldn't purchase a run-time/on-premise solution for any singleton. We are talking with Appian about what EXACTLY can A2 (appian anywhere) really do today, versus short-term, versus long-term, versus "Forget About It!" against some known requirements. Hopefully we will be able to maneuver the plumbing where we need too. We are certainly focused the SaaS model as a partner.
