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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Turnkey Microsoft Cloud Email Migration & Yearly Support in Bhagabatipur

Nothing derails a month-end like a mailbox that has stopped receiving because it is full, and it always happens to the person raising invoices. Old accounts on cheap hosting run out of room quickly, and the usual fix is deleting mail somebody will want later. Microsoft 365 gives each person far more room, plus an archive that moves older mail out of the way instead of throwing it away. Microtech Solutions sizes all of this at the start, so nobody is hunting for attachments to delete at nine at night.

📞 Who Installs Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration and Looks After It close to Bhagabatipur

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

You are paying for thirty licences and the accounts team can name about twenty-two people. Somewhere along the way somebody sold everyone the same plan, including the shop floor supervisor who only ever reads mail on a phone. A licence review usually shows that a mix of plans costs less than one plan for all, and that two or three seats can be dropped outright. We do the counting first and the quotation second, which is the opposite of how licences normally get sold.

The mail server sits in a cupboard behind the accounts room, and everyone in the office knows the sound it makes when the power flickers. Small companies across Kolkata ran their own mail for years because there was no sensible alternative; there is one now, and it needs no UPS, no antivirus renewal and nobody to restart it on a Sunday. Moving those mailboxes into Microsoft's cloud takes a weekend and keeps every old message, contact and calendar entry. The cupboard machine stays readable for a fortnight afterwards, just in case.

👍 Why Owners Stop Worrying About This close to Bhagabatipur

Most companies we meet have three domains: the one on the website, one from a brand name they stopped using, and one somebody registered years ago and forgot. Mail arriving on all three, none of them authenticated, is an administrative headache and a security hole in the same breath. Bringing them into one tenant gives you one address book, one set of records to keep, and old addresses that still deliver to the right person. It is dull work that removes a surprising amount of daily friction.

Auditors ask awkward questions about mail from three years ago, and 'the employee took his laptop' is not an answer that survives the meeting. How far back you can search is decided by retention and archive settings, and those need choosing at setup rather than after the request arrives. For CA firms in Kolkata, and for anyone getting ready for the data protection rules now coming in (DPDP Act), we place holds on the mailboxes that matter and write down what is kept and for how long. Nobody enjoys this conversation, but it is far cheaper before than after.

Shared Logins Replaced with Named Accounts at a Multi-Branch Dealership

A commodity trading office of eighteen people was paying for the top plan for every seat, including four warehouse staff who read mail on a phone and nothing else. We went through the list person by person, moved the warehouse and reception seats to a web-only plan, kept the full installed apps for accounts and the directors, and dropped two accounts belonging to people who had left. The bill came down at renewal without anybody losing a feature they were actually using. They now do the same review with us each year before the renewal date.

🛡️ ON-SITE PRACTICE AND FIELD EXPERIENCE

Support After Go-Live and Who to Ring

Before anything moves, we list every mailbox, alias, distribution list and device that touches mail in your office in Bhagabatipur. That audit is dull work, and it is exactly where the surprises get caught: the forgotten sales address, the scanner that mails PDFs, the director's phone nobody ever set up. Only once that list is agreed do we put a date on the wall.

🗂️ Product and Licence Line-Up across Kolkata

Here is what each plan includes, what it asks of you, and where the limits sit:

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.

🔹 MAILBOX SIZE

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

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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).

🔹 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).

🔹 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.

🔹 SETUP TIME

Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

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

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

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

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.

🔹 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).

🔹 NOTHING LEFT BEHIND

File dates, folder paths and version history come across, and a comparison report at the end lets you see the counts line up.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Any office in Kolkata where the file server is ageing, the backup is nobody's job, and staff away from the desk cannot reach the data.

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.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

A 50GB mailbox on the company area, Teams chat and meetings, 1TB of cloud space, and the browser versions of Word and Excel.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

No installed desktop apps, no attachment sandboxing and no management of Windows laptops - though the free mobile controls here will still remove company data from an enrolled phone, or reset it entirely (Basic Mobility and Security).

🔹 PHONE FIRST

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

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 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).

🔹 SETUP TIME

Porting existing numbers runs on the operator's clock and is the slow part; the Teams configuration itself takes a couple of days.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Field sales teams, offices where staff use their own phones for work, and anyone who has already lost a laptop once.

🔹 SETUP TIME

One working session to agree the policies, then devices enrolled in batches so the support calls stay manageable.

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 YOU GET

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

🔹 AUDIT PAPERWORK

Clean records of exactly who is licensed, which is the question that surfaces when a bank, an auditor or a large customer reviews your systems.

🔹 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).

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 FIRST MONTH

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

📃 Feature List and Technical Detail around Bhagabatipur

Commercially it is simple. Licences are invoiced in rupees with GST, monthly or annually, through a partner arrangement with Microsoft rather than a credit card on a website. Seat counts can move up and down as staff join, leave or come in for a season, and we review the total ahead of every renewal date rather than on it. Setup and migration work is quoted separately and once, so you can see exactly what is subscription and what is a one-time cost.

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.

🏆 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

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

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

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

🔹 Fake invoices and booby-trapped attachmentsOpened in a sealed test area before they reach the inbox, on the Premium plan

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

The Microsoft Service Promise and Its Fine Print

Buying through a Cloud Solution Provider changes the commercial side, not the software. Microtech Solutions sells the identical Microsoft subscriptions with a rupee invoice, GST input, flexible seat counts and an engineering team that sets the tenant up, moves your mail and answers the phone afterwards. The same team handles licensing, migration and ongoing administration for companies across the country.

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.

WHERE IT SHINES - THE SHORT VERSION

ONGOING EFFORT NEEDED WITHOUT THE SALES PITCH

✓Attachments from people you have never dealt with get opened in a safe box first, and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks (Safe Links and Safe Attachments).

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

✓No more pen drives and no more guessing which copy is the latest - department files in one place, 1 TB of personal space each (OneDrive and SharePoint).

—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.

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

—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.

✓A second check at login means the password alone opens nothing (multi-factor authentication).

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

✓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.

💡 Engineering Fact: A link that was harmless when the mail arrived can turn nasty an hour later. That is why the protection re-tests the link at the moment somebody clicks it, not just at delivery (Safe Links).

🧠 Advice We Give Before Anyone Buys throughout Kolkata

Licence tiers deserve an afternoon of somebody's honest attention. Premium is genuinely worth it for anyone handling money, customer data or company laptops, but putting it on a warehouse supervisor who reads two mails a day on a phone is money burnt. I build the list person by person with the office manager sitting next to me, because she knows who actually opens Excel and who does not. That single conversation usually saves more than the setup fee.

A one-time buy of Office still exists and for a single machine that never changes it is cheaper over five years. It gives you no email, no shared drive, no phone or tablet rights, and no way to move the licence when the machine dies. The subscription is not better software so much as a different arrangement - installation on several devices per person, and mail, files and security in the same bill.

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.

💡 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).

🛠️ Microsoft 365 Migration Day: What Happens, Hour by Hour, for Offices in Bhagabatipur

Most of what goes wrong with an email move goes wrong in the area records, so these notes spend more time on DNS than on software.

🛠️ Labelling & Documentation - What to Expect near Bhagabatipur

🔹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.
🔹Put the sender records in first and in order - publish the permitted senders, then the signing keys, and only then start monitoring before you ever move to enforcement (SPF, then DKIM, then DMARC).
🔹Schedule the actual switch for a Friday evening or the start of a long weekend in Bhagabatipur - never a Monday, and never the last three days of a month when invoicing is running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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.

💡 Engineering Fact: A file deleted from the shared drive is not gone. It sits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten file can be rolled back to how it looked yesterday from its version history.
