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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Original Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Subscription & License Desk near Belur

Not everybody in your company needs the same licence, and buying the top tier for all of them is the easiest way to waste money here. A supervisor who checks mail on a browser twice a day does not need what your finance head needs on a company laptop. We go through the staff list with you and mark who wants installed Office apps, who needs the security and device controls, and who genuinely only needs webmail. Businesses in Kolkata usually find the monthly total drops before the migration has even started.

🧭 Buying Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Without the Guesswork at multi-branch offices

Laptop on a desk showing a Teams video call with four people joined

A new joiner starts on Monday and is still without email on Wednesday because nobody is quite sure who creates accounts. When a tenant is built with proper groups and roles, adding a person takes five minutes and mail, files, Teams and folder access all arrive together. Removing somebody is just as quick, which matters more than most owners expect until the day it does. Offices near Belur tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.

Licences bought on a director's credit card arrive with a dollar receipt, no GST input and a support page in another time zone. Buying the same subscriptions through a local partner gets you a rupee invoice, seats you can add or drop as headcount moves, and a number a person answers (Cloud Solution Provider). The software is identical, because it is Microsoft's either way - the billing and the help are not. Microtech Solutions bills in INR and sets up what it sells.

🔑 Why Businesses Pick Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration when budgets are tight

A tenant is not something you build once and walk away from - people join, Microsoft changes a default, a policy quietly starts blocking something that worked last month. We stay on afterwards: adding and removing users, watching the security dashboard, reviewing licence counts before the renewal date rather than on it. You deal with someone who already knows your setup instead of explaining it again to a new ticket. Plenty of businesses keep us on for that reason alone.

The week of a mail move is the week everyone remembers, so we plan it around your business rather than ours. Mail routing is switched after hours, both the old and new systems carry mail for a while, and nothing is deleted from the old platform for a fortnight. If something looks wrong on Monday morning there is a way back, which is the part rushed migrations always skip. Microtech Solutions has done enough of these to know where mail actually goes missing.

Files Off WhatsApp and into a Shared Drive for Agencies near Belur

A garment exporter with a unit near Belur and about sixty staff discovered that buyers overseas were receiving payment instructions from an address one letter different from theirs. We took over the area records, published exactly which servers may send on their behalf, watched the reports for two weeks and then moved the policy to reject, so forged mail now fails at the receiving end. Internal alerts from their shipping software were found and fixed during that watching period rather than after. Their finance head no longer starts every payment call by asking the buyer to read the sender address aloud.

🛡️ WHO HOLDS THE KEYS AFTER GO-LIVE

How a Migration Is Planned Before Anyone Touches Your Mail

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.

📚 Models, Plans and What Suits Whom for growing companies

Scan the options, then tell us your headcount and we will suggest a mix that avoids waste:

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.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Desk staff who live in Outlook and Excel all day - accounts, sales, admin and management.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

Email on your own area, the shared cloud drive, Teams chat and meetings, and Office installed on the machine rather than only in a browser tab.

🔹 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.

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.

🔹 SETUP TIME

Licences apply instantly, but we roll the security policies out over a week or two in groups so nobody arrives on Monday locked out.

🔹 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.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

No Teams, no OneDrive, no SharePoint, no Office installs. Email and calendar, full stop.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

Mail, calendar, contacts and shared calendars on your own area, syncing to Outlook, phones and any browser.

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.

🔹 PERMISSIONS

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

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 USER LIMIT

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

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

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

🔹 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.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

Calling is licensed on top of Business Standard or Premium, and the minutes come from your telecom provider rather than from the licence.

🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT

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

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

A real phone number inside Teams, with hold, transfer, ring groups, a menu for callers and voicemail dropped into the inbox (Teams Phone).

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.

🔹 DISK ENCRYPTION

Laptop drives are encrypted with the recovery keys held in your tenant, so a stolen machine stays a stolen machine and does not become a data leak (BitLocker).

🔹 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).

🔹 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.

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.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

There is no mailbox here. Email either stays where it is or gets bought as a separate Exchange Online plan.

🔹 WHY NOT A ONE-TIME buy

A boxed copy stops receiving security fixes once its support window closes. A subscription copy keeps getting them, which matters the day a macro-laden invoice arrives.

🔹 ROLLOUT

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

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.

🔹 SECURITY REVIEW

A standing check of admin accounts, odd sign-in alerts, forwarding rules nobody remembers creating, and how many staff still have no second login check.

🔹 JOINERS AND LEAVERS

New staff get a mailbox, the right licence and the right folder access on day one; leavers are cut off within the hour and their mailbox converted rather than binned.

🔹 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.

🧮 Specifications, Explained in Plain Words for larger offices

Almost anything can be migrated from. We regularly move companies off free webmail on a personal address, hosting-company mailboxes bundled with a website, an old Exchange or Zimbra server sitting on site, Google Workspace, or an existing Microsoft tenant somebody else set up badly. What comes across is the mail itself with its folder structure, plus contacts, calendars and any shared calendars in use. What does not come across automatically gets listed for you in advance, so there are no surprises on the Monday.

Mail reputation is treated as part of the build, not an extra. We publish which servers are allowed to send in your name, add the signing keys, then watch the reports for a couple of weeks before tightening the policy to reject forged mail. Alerts sent by your own accounting software, the office copier and the website contact form are found and included during that watching period. The outcome you notice is straightforward: proposals reach inboxes, and nobody can invoice your customers in your name.

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

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

🔹 Billed asPer user, monthly or yearly, in rupees on a GST invoice from {COMPANY}

🔹 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

🔹 Two-step sign-inA prompt or code on the phone, so a password picked off a fake login page is not enough by itself

🔹 Uptime commitmentMicrosoft's 99.9% availability promise, backed by service credits

Inside Microsoft's Data Centres: Where Your Mail Actually Lives

SharePoint and OneDrive replace the file server in the corner. Departments get their own areas with proper permissions, individuals get personal space that follows them between machines, and two people can work on the same spreadsheet at the same time without one overwriting the other. Every earlier version of a file stays recoverable for months, which turns an accidental save-over from a crisis into a two-minute fix.

Microsoft Teams is where the WhatsApp groups end up. Departments get channels, calls and video meetings run inside the same window, and the file being discussed is attached to the conversation rather than forwarded around handsets. For companies with a plant, a head office and people on the road, it removes a lot of the phone tag that eats a working morning.

✅ What Is Included and What Costs Extra for single-office teams

Type of Business	What We Set Up	Typical Time Needed
Factories with a Small Office Team	Full licences for accounts and buy, web-only plans for the rest, one shared drive for drawings	Two days, mostly done after shift hours
Retail Chains and Franchise Networks	Store mailboxes under one company area, central control of who sees what, supplier mail in one place	One to two weeks depending on store count
Clinics and Diagnostic Centres	Reception and doctor mailboxes, one shared reports inbox, and a phone prompt at every login	Three to four days, reception never stops

✅ Speed, Capacity and Where the Ceiling Sits when the office is busiest

By about week four most people share a link instead of emailing the attachment around.

WHAT WORKS IN DAILY USE - IN PLAIN WORDS

WHO IT DOES NOT SUIT SPELLED OUT UPFRONT

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

—Outlook 2013 and older will not connect, so a few desktops need the newer version installed before the move.

✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).

—Multi-factor login means everybody must carry a phone they will actually use, and the first week brings grumbling.

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

—Office apps check in with Microsoft roughly once a month; a machine kept permanently offline eventually goes read-only.

✓Your mail stops landing in customers' spam folders once the area records are written correctly (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).

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

✓Sign-ins from an unknown laptop in another country can be blocked while your office carries on as normal (conditional access).

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

💡 Engineering Fact: Delete a resigned employee's account and the mail history goes with it - including the thread you need when a payment dispute surfaces. Change the mailbox to a shared one instead: the history stays, the replacement can read it, and the seat costs nothing.

📋 Network Setup & Cabling - Our Standards for busy workplaces

🔹Tell staff in writing, the day before, that they will be asked to sign in once more and approve a prompt on their phone; the support calls you avoid by sending that one message are considerable.
🔹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.

🗒️ What Our Team Sees on Site for demanding workloads

Shared mailboxes are the easiest money most companies leave on the table. Every generic address - info@, sales@, careers@, that old address on the printed brochures - can be a shared mailbox with no licence attached, worked from by as many staff as you like. I have taken over tenants where six of those existed as full paid accounts with somebody's password written down. Converting them costs nothing and takes an afternoon.

Microsoft 365 versus Google Workspace is the comparison we are asked for most, and Google is a good product - we will say so. Companies whose people live in Sheets and Docs, or who have never used desktop Office, often stay happier there. Microsoft pulls ahead when your accounts team runs heavy Excel files, when you want the installed applications rather than browser versions, or when you need device management and Office in one subscription rather than two.

Buying licences directly on a card gets you the same software at broadly the same price, so the question is what happens afterwards. You get a foreign-currency receipt, no local tax invoice, and a support process that begins with a web form. Through Microtech Solutions you get rupee billing with GST, seats you can change, and an engineer who already knows why your tenant is configured the way it is.

💡 Engineering Fact: Sending a 30MB attachment to twelve people creates thirteen copies and often bounces at the far end anyway. A link to the file in the shared drive is one copy, always the current one, and you can withdraw access later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. 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.

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. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

💡 Engineering Fact: Microsoft licences follow the person, not the machine. One employee may install Office on an office desktop, a laptop and a home PC on the same seat - but two people sharing one seat is an audit problem waiting to happen.
