I just attended a TechTalk on Process Automation for Customer Collections and Vendor Payments.
This is a nice feature, but to really allow proper automation and optimizing server usage, what we really need are dependencies between batches: when a dependency is added between 2 batches, the second batch will only start after the first one finishes.

If this is configurable for all processes (including custom processes), this would be something that is really useful for many customers.
