SaaS revenues grow dramatically, but will SaaS be a factor in EIM?

According to Gartner, 2011 SaaS revenues were $12.3 billion and they expect that number to climb to $14.5 billion for 2012.

Gartner claims that North America is where much of the growth will come from and that the USA is expected to reach $7.8 billion in 2012, up from $7.8 billion in 2011.

But what about engineering specifically?
