Can staff use this on their own phones, and can we wipe it if a phone is lost?

Yes to both, with one honest caveat about what wiping means on a personal handset. The device controls in Business Premium keep company mail and files in a managed area on the phone, insist on a screen lock, and let us remove only the company side, leaving the owner's photos, WhatsApp and payment apps completely alone. Staff have to accept the enrolment, so tell them plainly what you can and cannot see, because saying it up front prevents a lot of bad feeling later. On a company-owned laptop or phone we can go further and erase the whole device.

Can we finally switch off the old file server sitting in the corner?

In most offices yes, though seldom on day one. We map the existing shared folders onto SharePoint and OneDrive, keep the department structure people already recognise, and set permissions so accounts cannot browse HR folders and the other way round. Files that a program holds open, such as a Tally data folder, a design library or a database, are usually better left on a local server or a NAS, because live database files and cloud sync do not get along. You gain access from home or a customer site without fiddling with a VPN, but you still need a backup, because the cloud copy is not one.

Our broadband is slow and drops during the day. Will people still be able to work?

Mostly yes, and the first few days are the real test. Outlook keeps a full copy of each mailbox on the laptop, so staff carry on reading and writing during an outage and everything sends when the line comes back, whereas a Teams call feels every hiccup immediately. The heavy part is the initial download of mailboxes and files, which we schedule overnight or stagger a few users at a time so the office line is not choked during business hours. If the connection drops every day, a second broadband link from a different provider will do more for you than anything we can change in software.

Which plan do we actually need - Basic, Standard or Premium?

It comes down to two questions: does the person need Word and Excel installed on their machine, and how much control do you want over their device and their login. Business Basic covers company email, Teams and browser versions of the apps, which suits a shop floor or a sales team that lives on a phone. Business Standard adds the installed desktop apps that accounting and admin staff really do need. Business Premium adds the security layer on top, including full control of company laptops and tighter rules about where people may sign in from, and it costs noticeably more per person every month, so it is worth assigning it deliberately rather than to everybody by default.

How do you handle the huge PST archive files sitting on people's laptops?

We collect them and load them into online archive mailboxes, so the mail becomes searchable from any device instead of being stranded on one machine. PST files are the most fragile part of any old email setup: they corrupt, they get copied onto pen drives, and they vanish along with the laptop. Loading years of archive eats time and bandwidth, so we normally run it after cutover rather than letting it hold up the go-live date. Bear in mind that very large archives need a higher licence level, which occasionally changes what we recommend for two or three long-serving staff.

Can we stop staff from mailing customer lists to their personal address?

Largely yes, using rules that watch outgoing mail and files on the shared drive for the patterns you care about, such as PAN details, bank account numbers or a document marked confidential (data loss prevention). When someone tries to send a price list or a customer database to an outside personal address, the message can be blocked outright, or allowed through with a warning and a record for management to see. Chat and channel messages inside Teams can be watched the same way, but that needs one of the larger enterprise licences rather than Business Premium. Start narrow, because a rule that catches too much gets switched off within a week, and remember that nothing here stops somebody photographing a screen.

Can we buy licences in rupees with a proper GST invoice?

Yes. Buying through Microtech Solutions as your licensing supplier means a rupee invoice with GST on it that your accountant can claim against, rather than a foreign card charge appearing on somebody's statement. You can pay monthly or take the annual term, and the annual term works out cheaper per user but fixes that seat for the year. Do treat licences as a running cost rather than a one-time buy, budgeted the same way you budget the internet connection, because it renews whether or not anybody reviews it.

Will we lose any old emails when we move?

No, everything comes across, and we prove it before anything old is switched off. We copy the mailboxes, the folder structure people have built up, contacts and calendar entries into the new mailboxes first, then run a second pass to pick up whatever arrived while the first copy was running. Your existing mailbox stays live and untouched until you tell us you are satisfied with what landed. The one thing that does not travel on its own is an archive saved as a PST file on somebody's laptop, and we deal with those as a separate job.

We have twelve people but only four need Word and Excel installed. Can we mix plans?

Yes, and mixing is usually the sensible thing to do, because different plans sit happily in the same account. Your four heavy users take Standard or Premium, the other eight take Basic, and all twelve still share one email area, one Teams setup and one file library. The catch is that a Basic user cannot install desktop Excel, so when somebody's role changes you have to remember to upgrade them, and nobody remembers until that person complains. We go through the licence list with you every few months so the count follows your actual payroll instead of quietly creeping upward.

Do we still need a separate backup if everything is in Microsoft's cloud?

Yes, and this is the misunderstanding we correct most often. Microsoft's job is keeping the service running and the data centres alive; it is not keeping a copy of the folder your accountant deleted in March. Deleted items and old versions sit in recycle bins for a limited window and then they are genuinely gone, and ransomware that encrypts a synced OneDrive folder will cheerfully sync the damage upward. A separate cloud-to-cloud backup takes its own copy of mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint on its own schedule, and it is an additional per-user subscription, which for most businesses is money well spent.

Is Microsoft 365 better than Google Workspace for us?

It depends on what your office already runs on, and Microtech Solutions moves clients in both directions. If your team lives inside Excel, with real formulas, accounting exports and GST workings, Microsoft is the more comfortable home because the desktop apps are the genuine article rather than a browser imitation. If everybody works in a browser, shares documents constantly and rarely opens a spreadsheet more than a few hundred rows long, Google does the job and changing for its own sake wastes money. We would rather tell you your current setup is fine than sell you a migration you do not need.

What happens to an employee's mailbox after they resign - do we keep paying for it?

Not if it is handled properly. We block the login, sign the account out of every device it was signed into, and turn the mailbox into a shared mailbox, which keeps every old message searchable without a paid licence attached to it. Their manager or replacement can then be given access to answer whatever still arrives at that address. Two limits are worth knowing: a shared mailbox has a size ceiling, and if the account must be preserved for a legal case or an audit hold, it does have to stay licensed, which is a genuine ongoing cost you should decide on rather than discover.

Can our Tally software and the office printer still send emails after the move?

Yes, but every one of them needs reconfiguring, and this is the step most businesses forget until the first invoice fails to leave the building. Anything that sends mail on its own, whether it is Tally, the scan-to-email button on the copier, an ERP mailing buy orders or the website enquiry form, has to be pointed at the new service with proper credentials or approved as a legitimate sender for your area. We write down every such device and application before cutover, then test each one the same evening. Older printers that only support outdated, unencrypted sending sometimes need a firmware update or a small relay arrangement.

Someone sent a fake invoice pretending to be our director. Can this stop that?

That exact trick, forging mail from your own area, is what a strict DMARC policy shuts down, and it is one of the first things we set. Once your area instructs receiving servers to reject anything not sent from your approved systems, a fraudster can no longer put your director's real address in the From line and have it delivered. What no setting can prevent is a lookalike area with one letter changed, so we also turn on the external-sender warning banner and add rules that flag mail claiming to come from your senior staff. Tell your accounts team to pick up the phone before acting on any change of bank details, whatever the email looks like.

What exactly do you change inside the tenant to lock it down?

The short answer: every account asked for the phone as well as the password, the number of full administrator accounts cut down to two, and the old login methods that bypass that second step switched off. Beyond that we set rules about where logins are accepted from, tighten the anti-phishing settings, and turn on the audit log so there is a record when something looks wrong. Microsoft scores your account against its own recommendations, and we work down that list with you, explaining which items are worth the friction and which are not. Some of this does mildly annoy staff, and that is the trade we would rather discuss with you than spring on you.

Seamless Microsoft Mailbox Migration & SharePoint Config in Bansdroni

The call that starts most of these jobs sounds the same. A customer says they never received the quotation, and it has been sitting in their spam folder for three days. Nine times out of ten the area has no proper sender records, so mail servers treat anything from you as suspicious and quietly bin it, and when we move a business in Bansdroni onto Microsoft 365 that is the first thing we fix. Microtech Solutions then tests the mail against real outside mailboxes before we call the job finished.

📍 Microsoft Deployment, Migration and Handover across Kolkata

Engineer in Bansdroni watching a mailbox migration progress bar fill on a laptop screen

Twenty people share one info@ login, everybody reads everything, and nobody can say who replied to the enquiry that came in at nine. Give each person their own account and turn the general address into a shared mailbox and the guessing stops, at no extra licence cost. Sent items sit in one place, replies carry a name, and a leaver's access can be removed without twenty people learning a new password. It is usually the first thing we fix.

Your senior salesman resigns, takes his handset with him, and three weeks later a customer asks about the mail he sent in April. On a personal webmail account that thread has simply gone. Inside a company tenant the mailbox stays yours - it can be converted to a shared mailbox, handed to a colleague, or held for an audit without paying for a licence forever. Companies across Kolkata come to us for exactly that, usually after it has already happened once.

💡 The Case for Doing It Properly Once across Kolkata

It is nine at night, the director's phone has stopped pulling mail, and the help page suggests raising a ticket. Buying your licences through a partner in Kolkata means the person who built the tenant is the person who picks up. We hold the admin access, we know why each setting is there, and nobody needs a fifteen-minute explanation before work can start. That is most of what people mean when they say they want local support.

Asking staff for a code on the phone as well as the password is the most useful security change a small company can make, and also the one most likely to ruin a Monday. So we stage it - a pilot group first, staff told in advance about the one-time prompt on their phones, an emergency admin account kept aside, then everyone else (multi-factor authentication). Nobody in your Kolkata office gets locked out of their own mail on a working day. The point of the exercise is simple: knowing the password is no longer enough.

Moving a Company off Free Webmail to Proper Company Email

A car dealership with three showrooms across Kolkata had one email password shared by everyone on the sales floor, printed on a slip stuck to the counter. Every salesperson now has their own account, enquiries land in a shared sales mailbox that the whole floor can work from, and each reply carries a name. When a salesman left mid-quarter, his access was gone the same afternoon and his open enquiries stayed with the branch. The general manager can finally answer the question of who followed up on which enquiry.

🛡️ HOW WE ACTUALLY RUN A MIGRATION

What We Hand Over When the Job Is Finished

Licences are purchased and invoiced here in India, in rupees, against your company name with GST shown. Seats can be added when you hire and dropped at renewal, instead of arguing with a card payment on a website. We claim no special badge from Microsoft - what we offer is a local bill, a working setup, and a number that gets answered.

Here are the jobs clients ask for most often:

▪Company Phone and Laptop Controls with Intune

▪Microsoft Defender for Business Rollout

▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant

▪Ongoing Tenant Admin, AMC and New Joiner Setup

*Note: The setup, migration and support work described here is chargeable, and comes from us as an independent partner - it is not Microsoft's own support line.*

💡 Engineering Fact: The cloud is not a backup. Microsoft protects the service against its own failures; it does not protect you from a staff member who deletes a folder in March and asks for it back in October.

📦 Available Options and Typical Fit for offices in Bansdroni

Read through the mailbox sizes, storage limits and security features before you decide:

Microsoft 365 Business Standard - Installed Office Apps, Email and Teams

For office teams who need Word and Excel installed on the laptop, company email on every phone, and one place to keep files. This is where most small and mid-sized firms land.

🔹 MEETINGS

Video calls for up to 300 people, recordings, and outside guests who can join without any Microsoft account of their own.

🔹 SETUP TIME

A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.

🔹 FILE STORAGE

1TB of personal cloud space each, team libraries alongside it, and old versions kept so an accidental overwrite is not fatal.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium - Standard Plus Security and Device Control

For firms holding client money, patient records or drawings, where one stolen laptop is a real problem. Everything in Standard, with device control and tougher sign-in rules layered on.

🔹 SECURITY

Attachments are opened in a sealed test area and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks, so a fake invoice PDF does not get its first click (Defender for Business).

🔹 BILLING

Per user per month. Plenty of clients keep general staff on Standard and lift only directors, accounts and IT up to Premium.

🔹 EVERYTHING IN STANDARD

The same installed apps, 50GB mailboxes, cloud drive and Teams - nothing is traded away to get the security.

Exchange Online Plan 1 and Plan 2 - Company Email on Its Own

For teams that already own Office or spend the day inside Tally, and only want a reliable inbox on the company area. Mail, calendar and contacts, without paying for apps nobody opens.

🔹 MAILBOX SIZE

50GB on Plan 1. Plan 2 doubles the main mailbox to 100GB and adds an archive that keeps expanding as it fills up.

🔹 PHONE ACCESS

The native mail app on Android and iPhone syncs without installing anything extra (Exchange ActiveSync).

🔹 KEEPING MAIL FOR AUDITS

Plan 2 can freeze a mailbox so nothing is ever permanently deleted, and lets you search across mailboxes when a dispute or an audit lands (litigation hold and eDiscovery).

Moving the Shared Office Drive into SharePoint and OneDrive

For offices still passing files around on a server in the corner, a NAS box, pen drives or WhatsApp. We lift the folders into the cloud with the structure and the permissions intact.

🔹 UNDOING MISTAKES

A deleted file waits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten one rolls back to an earlier version in a couple of clicks.

🔹 PERMISSIONS

Salary and tender folders lock down to named people, and sharing outside the company can be switched off or limited to approved domains.

🔹 TRAINING

A short hands-on session per department, because the migration that fails is the one where staff quietly go back to emailing attachments.

Microsoft 365 Business Basic - Webmail for Shift and Shop-Floor Staff

The entry plan for giving every employee a proper company address without buying installed Office for people who will never open Excel. Runs in a browser and on the phone.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Shift supervisors, drivers, warehouse hands, site engineers and trainees who need an inbox and a Teams message, nothing more.

🔹 PHONE FIRST

Staff with no company laptop still get their mail, the staff directory and Teams on a personal Android handset.

🔹 MIXING PLANS

One tenant happily runs Basic, Standard and Premium side by side, and a person moves up or down at the next billing cycle.

Teams Calling and Meeting Room Setup (Phone System)

For firms who want the reception line, the desk phones and the boardroom screen running through Teams instead of a separate PBX box. Calls follow the person to laptop or mobile.

🔹 MEETING ROOMS

The conference room gets a camera, a screen and a console that joins the booked meeting with one tap, instead of ten minutes of cable hunting (Teams Rooms).

🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Call quality is an internet question, not a Microsoft one. We test the office link and the backup line around Bansdroni before anyone signs anything.

🔹 HOW CALLS REACH THE NETWORK

We connect Teams to an Indian telecom operator's lines so the numbers printed on your visiting cards keep working (Direct Routing or Operator Connect).

Device Management and Lost-Phone Control (Microsoft Intune)

For firms worried about what walks out of the building on a staff phone or laptop. Company data can be removed from a missing device without touching the owner's photos.

🔹 PERSONAL PHONES

On a staff member's own device only the work apps are governed - nobody at the office can see their gallery, contacts or WhatsApp (app protection policies).

🔹 WHEN SOMEONE LEAVES

Access is cut and the device wiped from the same screen where you disable the account - minutes, rather than a fortnight of chasing.

🔹 NEW LAPTOP SETUP

A machine can be couriered straight to a branch, unboxed by whoever is there, and configure itself to your settings on first sign-in (Autopilot).

Desktop Office Licensing for Larger Firms (Microsoft 365 Apps)

Installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for organisations that have outgrown the small-business plans or already run their email somewhere else. No ceiling on user count.

🔹 SHARED COMPUTERS

One licence can cover a person signing in at a machine others also use - a factory floor terminal, a training room, a shift desk (shared computer activation).

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

The full installed apps on up to five computers per person, updating themselves quietly, with 1TB of personal cloud storage each.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Companies past the small-business seat limit, and firms content with their existing mail who only want current, legal Office on every desk.

Ongoing Microsoft 365 Support and Licence Management (Monthly Retainer)

Somebody to call when a new joiner needs an address by 9am or a director cannot sign in before a flight. We look after the tenant month to month so it stops drifting.

🔹 WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY RING ABOUT

A phone left in a taxi, a mail that bounced, a shared calendar nobody can open, a folder deleted at 6pm on Friday.

🔹 LICENCE RIGHT-SIZING

Each quarter we list who is paying for what, point out the seats nobody has signed into for months, and drop or downgrade them at renewal.

🔹 MAIL DELIVERY WATCH

We read the reports that say whether your invoices are reaching customers or quietly sitting in their junk folder, and fix the area records when they slip (DMARC reporting).

📊 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide for offices in Bansdroni

After go-live, somebody still has to own it. That means adding joiners, dealing with leavers properly, keeping an eye on the security dashboard, and answering the question of why a policy has started blocking something. We hold the admin access with your permission and work to agreed response times, and you can take that access back at any point. The tenant is yours; we simply run it for you.

What we take on is worth pinning down before anyone talks about price. This service suits companies of roughly five to three hundred users who want proper company email, a shared drive and Teams, set up once and properly. Microtech Solutions handles the licence choice, the tenant, the area records, the mailbox and file move, the device and security settings, and the walkthrough with your staff at the end. Businesses in Bansdroni get the same running order at eight seats as at two hundred.

Built-In Protection against Fake Invoices and Booby-Trapped Attachments

Microsoft 365 is a subscription that bundles the things an office runs on: company email, the Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook you already know, a shared drive reachable from anywhere, and Teams for calls and chat. Rather than buying software once and living with it for a decade, you pay per person per month and every part stays current. The whole thing sits in your company's own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, which is what the industry calls a tenant.

There are three plans most Indian businesses choose between. Business Basic covers mail, files and Teams with the Office apps running in a browser. Business Standard adds the full applications installed on desktops, laptops and phones. Business Premium adds the security and device controls: protection against fake invoices and links that lead somewhere they should not, plus full management of company laptops and staff handsets.

BENEFITS YOU WILL NOTICE - THE HIGHLIGHTS

COMMON COMPLAINTS - THE HONEST VERSION

✓Ask what happens today if a salesman's handset disappears on a bus; with the device already enrolled the answer is a two-minute job from a browser (Intune).

—Microsoft does not keep a deleted mailbox forever; past the retention window it is gone, so backup is a separate product you buy on top.

✓An ex-employee's mailbox can be kept readable for audit purposes without paying full price for that seat.

—A 60 GB mailbox on an ordinary office line takes days to copy, so the big accounts are started well before cutover night.

✓Company email on every phone and laptop, 50 GB per person, with Microsoft's own uptime commitment behind it (Exchange Online).

—Guest sharing in Teams and SharePoint starts open and has to be tightened deliberately, or documents wander off quietly.

✓The finance objection first - a dollar receipt off a website cannot be claimed, so the same licences come invoiced in rupees with GST, the count moving as you hire.

—If both the admin credentials and the emergency account are lost, getting control back from Microsoft is slow and painful.

✓Somebody forgetting their password at 8am can reset it themselves instead of ringing around for help (self-service reset).

—PST files scattered across staff desktops must be hunted down and imported, and nobody ever knows how many exist.

💡 Engineering Fact: A mailbox stores mail and needs a licence. An alias is just a second address into the same mailbox and costs nothing. A distribution list stores nothing at all - it copies incoming mail to a group. Picking the wrong one is how firms overpay for years.

🛠️ Setting Up the Tenant: What Gets Done, and in What Order

These are the habits we apply to every tenant we build, whether the company has eight users or two hundred and eight.

🔧 Configuration & Testing - A Timeline around Bansdroni

🔹Drop the time-to-live on your mail records to five minutes a full two days before the cutover, so that when you finally switch, the internet follows you in minutes rather than hours.
🔹Agree the folder and site structure on paper before a single file is uploaded, because rearranging two hundred gigabytes after the fact is somebody's entire week.
🔹Keep the old system live and delivering alongside the new one for the first few days, then leave it readable but switched off for a fortnight before anybody deletes a thing.

📝 Common Failures and How We Fix Them across Kolkata

Before I switch off the old sign-in methods, I walk the building. In the offices I visit around Bansdroni there is always a copier that scans to email using a password from 2016, an alert from Tally, a CCTV recorder and a website form, and every one of them will break silently the moment those methods are blocked. I list them, move each to a proper modern method or a permitted route, and only then close the door. Blocking them matters - that is where password-guessing attacks come in - but blocking them blind is how you lose a fortnight of goodwill.

Doing the migration in-house is entirely possible if you have somebody patient and a quiet weekend. Where it usually comes apart is the parts that are invisible until they fail: the time-to-live on the records, the record that reconfigures phones by itself, the devices still sending mail through old methods. Bringing somebody in mostly buys you the list of things you would not have known to check.

The free tier of Teams, or running the company on WhatsApp, costs nothing and everyone already has it. It also means company files sit on personal handsets, a departing employee walks out with the group history, and there is no way to control who is in a conversation. The moment your files or your customer lists are in those chats, the free option has become the expensive one.

💡 Engineering Fact: Your tenant is your own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, and your area belongs to you whoever set it up. If a former vendor is sitting on the admin account, control can be recovered by proving you own the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why does our company email keep landing in customers' spam folders?

Nearly always because your area never had its sender records finished properly. Mail servers at Gmail, Yahoo and the corporate gateways your customers sit behind check three small entries in your area settings to decide whether a message claiming to be from you really is (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), and if those are missing or half done, your quotations get treated as suspicious. We publish all three correctly and list every legitimate sender you use, including the website enquiry form, the accounting software and any mailing tool. Reputation recovers gradually rather than overnight, so give it a fortnight before judging the result.

Q. Who fixes it if something breaks after the setup is done?

We do, and you reach a named engineer at our Kolkata desk rather than a ticket queue in another time zone. Every setup includes a settling-in period where we stay close, because the first week is when an odd calendar permission or a stubborn phone profile shows up. After that, most clients around Kolkata keep a monthly support arrangement covering joiners, leavers, licence changes and everyday Outlook and Teams trouble, and that is a recurring fee rather than free aftercare, which we say plainly before you sign. If you prefer to run day-to-day admin in-house, we hand over the admin accounts and written notes and stay available for the difficult ones.

Q. How long does the changeover take, and will email stop working during it?

For an office of ten to fifty people, plan on about a week, of which the actual switchover is one evening. Most of that week is quiet background copying while everyone carries on using the old email exactly as before. On cutover night we point your area at Microsoft, and new mail starts arriving within minutes, although a handful of senders on slow networks can take a few hours to notice the change. Expect a few small irritations the next morning, such as a phone asking for a password again or a signature to be re-added, which is why an engineer stays reachable through that first working day.

Q. We already run a Windows area in the office. Does that keep working?

Yes, the two can be joined so people use a single password for both. A small sync tool on your server copies user accounts and group memberships up to Microsoft's directory, so the password someone types to unlock their Windows machine is the same one that opens Outlook and Teams. Logon scripts, mapped drives and shared printers carry on as before while email and files move to the cloud. The trade-off is that the server now has to stay healthy, because if the sync stops, password changes stop flowing with it, which is one reason smaller offices often decide to retire the area controller and go cloud-only instead.

Q. Do we have to commit for a full year, or can we add people as we hire?

Adding a licence takes minutes on any working day and the new person can be reading mail the same morning. Reducing is where businesses get caught out: on the monthly plan you can drop seats at the next billing date, but on an annual term you keep paying for that seat until it expires, used or not. For firms that take on extra hands around a festival rush or an audit season, we normally put the permanent team on the annual term and the floating headcount on monthly. That split keeps the bill honest without leaving anyone waiting for an account.

💡 Engineering Fact: accounts@ and sales@ do not need paid licences of their own, as long as each stays under 50GB and the people reading it are licensed. Firms routinely pay for four or five of these without ever realising it.
