MBS will help every person and supplier working with the Met by:

Building a modern and efficient industry-standard business services directorate, building and pooling key specialist capabilities, strengthening HR, Finance and Commercial functions whilst removing functional silos; Designing end-to-end services, building them around the needs of the users rather than in functional process silos and seamlessly integrating them regardless of how they are delivered; and Providing easy-to-use interfaces and 'one-touch' services for end-users that leverage the potential of contemporary technologies like automation and low-code workflows.
