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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Turnkey Microsoft Cloud Email Migration & Yearly Support in Barrackpore

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 Barrackpore 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.

Whiteboard with a per-person licence plan sketched out for a small business in Kolkata

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

Staff get a short walkthrough - twenty minutes, no slides - covering where files now live, how to share a link instead of an attachment, and what that login prompt on the phone actually means. Skip it and people drift straight back to WhatsApp. We run the session again for anyone who missed it, and for new joiners if you keep us on a retainer.

Day-to-day services our team handles for offices like yours:

▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant

▪Third-Party Mailbox Backup for Microsoft 365

▪Ongoing Tenant Admin, AMC and New Joiner Setup

▪Single Sign-On and Second-Check Login (Entra ID, MFA)

*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: Take the licence off a user and a clock starts. Mailbox and OneDrive contents are held for about a month, then removed. Pull the files out before you free the seat, not after.

📦 Models, Plans and What Suits Whom in Kolkata

Look through the setup work, the migration steps and the support options listed here:

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.

🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.

🔹 BILLING

Per person per month on a monthly or yearly commitment, invoiced in rupees with GST by Microtech Solutions instead of a foreign card charge.

🔹 MAILBOX SIZE

50GB each, which is several years of mail for most people, plus shared calendars the whole team can see.

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.

🔹 SIGN-IN RULES

Block logins from countries you never trade with or from machines you do not manage, and demand the second check only where it earns its keep (Entra ID P1 Conditional Access).

🔹 BILLING

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

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

Desk-phone calling and the deep compliance tooling of the big enterprise plans; both are bought separately if you need them.

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).

🔹 SHARED ADDRESSES

Accounts@ and sales@ sit beside the paid mailboxes without needing licences of their own.

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.

🔹 FOLDER STRUCTURE

Separate libraries for Accounts, HR, Sales, Projects and Management instead of one enormous Shared folder everybody tips things into.

🔹 WHAT WE DO

Map the folder tree you already have, agree who should see what, then copy it up in stages across nights and weekends.

🔹 WORKING OFFLINE

Files still appear as a normal drive in File Explorer, keep working when the link drops, and catch up when it returns (OneDrive sync).

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 USER LIMIT

The small-business plans stop at a few hundred seats; beyond that we move you onto the enterprise line instead.

🔹 SETUP TIME

Adding Basic users to a tenant whose area is already verified is a same-hour job.

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.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Offices nursing an ageing EPABX, retail chains across several branches, and support desks that need calls reaching staff working from home.

🔹 CALL REPORTING

Who rang, who missed it, how long people waited - the numbers a sales head actually asks about on Monday.

🔹 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).

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.

🔹 IF A PHONE IS LOST

You raise it from a browser and the company mail, files and Teams data are cleared from that handset the moment it next touches a network.

🔹 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.

🔹 RULES YOU CAN SET

Screen lock and PIN compulsory, copying out of work apps blocked, and company mail refused on a rooted or jailbroken phone.

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.

🔹 LICENCE CHECKS

Each install phones home periodically, so a laptop kept offline for weeks will ask its user to sign in again.

🔹 ROLLOUT

Installs can be pushed to machines over the network rather than walking desk to desk, once the package and update channel are agreed.

🔹 BILLING

Per named person, not per machine. One employee with a desktop, a laptop and a home PC still needs a single seat.

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.

🔹 BILLING

A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.

🔹 HONESTY ABOUT BACKUP

Microsoft keeps the service running; it does not keep a copy of a folder someone deleted eight months ago. We set retention properly and add separate backup where the risk deserves it.

🔹 FIRST MONTH

We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.

🛠️ Workflow Setup

We start with an audit and a straight licence proposal: how many mailboxes, how large, who needs the installed apps, and what it will cost each year.

⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid

Assuming Microsoft keeps a copy of permanently deleted mail catches people out most often; the service protects itself, not you from your own delete key.

🔌 Guidelines & Sizing

Track down the registrar login early, and if it belongs to a web designer who left in 2016, get the area transferred into the company's own account first.

📊 Specifications, Explained in Plain Words for offices in Barrackpore

File and collaboration work is planned on paper first. Departments get their own areas with permissions that match how the company actually works, personal working files go to each user's own space, and everything keeps a version history you can roll back through. Teams is set up by department with the files attached to the right conversation instead of scattered across handsets. Where an old file server is involved, path lengths and file names are checked before anything is copied.

Device and login work is what separates Premium from the cheaper plans. Company laptops and handsets are enrolled so they can be wiped remotely, personal phones are set up so only the company data is under our control, and disk encryption and update schedules are applied without anyone having to click through them. The phone prompt at login goes on in stages, with an emergency administrator account kept outside the policy. Old sign-in methods that attackers still target are switched off once we have confirmed nothing legitimate depends on them.

🏆 CORE PARAMETER🔹 Moving old email acrossFull history, folders and contacts brought over from Google Workspace, Zimbra, Rediff, cPanel or an in-house server

🔹 Mailbox size50GB per person on most plans, 100GB plus an expanding archive on the larger email plan

🔹 Shared office drive1TB of personal cloud space each, plus department libraries the whole team can reach

🔹 If a phone is lostWork mail and files wiped from that handset remotely, personal photos left alone

🔹 Desktop Word and ExcelInstalled on Business Standard, Premium and the Apps plans; browser-only on Basic

🔹 Meetings and callingVideo meetings for up to 300 people; desk-phone numbers through Teams as an add-on

🔹 Works on phonesMail, calendar and Teams on Android and iPhone, through the handset's own mail app or the Outlook app

Data Residency and Where Indian Tenants Are Hosted

Defender for Business, included with the Premium plan, is the protection layer. It checks links inside incoming mail at the moment somebody clicks them, opens unfamiliar attachments away from the machine before they reach the desk, and watches endpoints for the behaviour that precedes a ransomware run. Because it is part of the same subscription, there is no separate antivirus renewal to keep track of.

Intune handles the hardware. Company laptops and phones are enrolled once and can then be wiped remotely if lost, and on a staff member's personal handset the company mail and files can be removed on their own, leaving photos and personal chats alone. Disk encryption, update schedules and standard settings get applied centrally instead of being configured machine by machine.

PRACTICAL GAINS - THE HIGHLIGHTS

PREPARATION YOU WILL NEED - THE HONEST VERSION

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

—Licences are a recurring cost per person, monthly or yearly - stop paying and the mailbox stops working.

✓A new laptop can be handed over still in its box and set itself up on first switch-on (Windows Autopilot).

—Changing MX and DNS records needs login access to the area registrar, often held by a web designer nobody has spoken to in years.

✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.

—Business Premium expects Windows 10 or 11 Pro; a Home edition machine will not accept the management policies.

✓Meetings, department chat and file sharing sit in one place, which is how WhatsApp finally gets retired (Teams).

—Litigation hold and case-based search do come with Business Premium (eDiscovery Standard); it is the advanced compliance tooling - custodian tracking, analytics, predictive coding - that only the top enterprise plan carries.

✓Nobody starts the Monday staring at an empty inbox: the folder tree people built over a decade arrives exactly as they left it.

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

💡 Engineering Fact: The quietest sign of a broken-into mailbox is a rule the user never wrote - supplier mail sliding into an obscure folder, or a copy going out to an address nobody recognises. Checking for stray forwarding rules takes five minutes and finds real trouble.

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

Set the structure before people start using it, because once two hundred folders exist in the wrong shape, tidying them up becomes a project of its own.

📌 User Training & Handover - A Walkthrough across Kolkata

🔹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.
🔹Count and measure every mailbox before you promise a timeline; a twelve-year-old account with 40GB in it behaves nothing like a new joiner's, and that is what decides whether the move takes a night or a weekend.

📝 Where the Datasheet and Reality Differ across Kolkata

Before I switch off the old sign-in methods, I walk the building. In the offices I visit around Barrackpore 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.

Bolting a separate antivirus, a separate mail filter and a separate device management tool together works, and if you already own good ones there is no urgency to change. Premium puts the equivalents in one subscription with one place to look and one renewal to remember. The saving is real but the bigger gain is that a single dashboard tends to actually get checked.

Compared with free webmail on a personal address, company email on your own area is mostly about being believed. A gmail or rediff address on a quotation quietly costs you credibility, and there is no way to keep a leaver's correspondence or search across the team. For a two-person operation free webmail is genuinely fine; the trouble starts the day you hire somebody and want their mail to survive them.

💡 Engineering Fact: A stamp that cannot be forged travels with every message you send, letting the far end confirm the mail really came from you and was not edited on the way (DKIM signing).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

💡 Engineering Fact: Mail from your company can land in a customer's spam folder for one dull reason: the receiving server has no list of which machines are allowed to send in your name. That list is a single line in your area settings (an SPF record).
