Monthly Business Review

Northwind Trading — May 2026

Prepared by Methodology IT · for Dana Okafor, Operations

The month in a sentence

A quiet, healthy month. Support volume was down 14% and every ticket met its response target. Two laptops are flagged for replacement before they cause downtime, and your security posture improved from B to B+ after we enforced MFA on the last three accounts.
