Half the migrations we take on are rescue jobs. Somebody moved a company off GoDaddy or Zimbra over a weekend, calendars arrived empty, shared folders vanished, and the boss's phone stopped syncing on Monday morning. The problem is almost never Microsoft - it is skipping the dry run, so we copy every old mailbox across in the background first and check folders, contacts and calendar entries against the source before touching the mail record. For offices around Bidhan Sarani we make the switch on a Saturday evening, and an engineer stays on the phone with you through Monday.
✅ Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Supply, Setup and Support anywhere in Kolkata
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.
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 Bidhan Sarani tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.
🧠 What Changes in the First Month with a growing team
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.
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.
Ex-Employee Mailboxes Kept for Audit at a CA Firm
A logistics startup in Kolkata had grown into three area names, one from the original brand, one for the new one and one bought for a service they no longer offer. Mail was arriving on all three from three different providers, with staff quietly forwarding things to themselves to keep up. We consolidated everything into a single tenant with one address book, kept all three domains delivering so no customer's old address broke, and authenticated each of them properly. New staff now get one address on the current brand and nobody forwards anything anywhere.

Admin credentials belong to you, not to us. At handover the global admin account, the recovery details and the emergency account are written down and passed to a director, in a sealed envelope or a password manager entry, whichever you prefer. If you later change partners, nothing has to be prised out of anyone's hands.
What a support arrangement with us usually covers:

*Reminder: Mailbox backup is a separate paid product; a Microsoft 365 subscription on its own is not a backup of your email or your files.*
💡 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.

🏷️ Full Range with Honest Comparisons near Bidhan Sarani
Below you will find licence tiers, security add-ons and the support arrangements that go with them:
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.
🔹 MAILBOX SIZE
50GB each, which is several years of mail for most people, plus shared calendars the whole team can see.
🔹 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.
🔹 STOPPING DATA WALKING OUT
Mail carrying PAN, Aadhaar or bank account numbers can be flagged, blocked or encrypted on its way out the door (data loss prevention and sensitivity labels).
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
Per user per month. Plenty of clients keep general staff on Standard and lift only directors, accounts and IT up to Premium.
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 IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
No Teams, no OneDrive, no SharePoint, no Office installs. Email and calendar, full stop.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 UNDOING MISTAKES
A deleted file waits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten one rolls back to an earlier version in a couple of clicks.
🔹 PERMISSIONS
Salary and tender folders lock down to named people, and sharing outside the company can be switched off or limited to approved domains.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 BILLING
The Teams side is per user per month; the trunk and the call minutes arrive on the operator's own invoice.
🔹 MEETING ROOMS
The conference room gets a camera, a screen and a console that joins the booked meeting with one tap, instead of ten minutes of cable hunting (Teams Rooms).
🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Call quality is an internet question, not a Microsoft one. We test the office link and the backup line around Bidhan Sarani before anyone signs anything.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
Per named person, not per machine. One employee with a desktop, a laptop and a home PC still needs a single seat.
🔹 LICENCE CHECKS
Each install phones home periodically, so a laptop kept offline for weeks will ask its user to sign in again.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 MAIL DELIVERY WATCH
We read the reports that say whether your invoices are reaching customers or quietly sitting in their junk folder, and fix the area records when they slip (DMARC reporting).
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.

🏢 User Training & Handover - The Plan for small and mid-sized teams
🔹Roll the second login check out to a small pilot group first, keep one emergency administrator account outside the policy, and only then extend it to the rest of the company.
🔹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.
📋 What the Numbers Mean for Your Office for small teams
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.
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.
🏆 CORE PARAMETER🔹 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
🔹 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
🔹 Moving old email acrossFull history, folders and contacts brought over from Google Workspace, Zimbra, Rediff, cPanel or an in-house server
🔹 Keeping mail out of spamSPF, DKIM and DMARC records set up on your area as part of the job
🔹 Fake invoices and booby-trapped attachmentsOpened in a sealed test area before they reach the inbox, on the Premium plan
What Microsoft Runs, and What It Leaves to You
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.
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.

CLEAR ADVANTAGES - FOR BUYERS
COSTS BEYOND THE QUOTE - A QUICK LIST
✓Ask what happens today if a salesman's handset disappears on a bus; with the device already enrolled the answer is a two-minute job from a browser (Intune).
—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).
—Office apps check in with Microsoft roughly once a month; a machine kept permanently offline eventually goes read-only.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—Full management of Windows laptops and the stronger sign-in rules only exist on Business Premium; Basic and Standard get just the free mobile controls.
✓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).
—Business Premium expects Windows 10 or 11 Pro; a Home edition machine will not accept the management policies.
✓Sign-ins from an unknown laptop in another country can be blocked while your office carries on as normal (conditional access).
—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.
💡 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).

💡 Engineer Notes From Real Installations after years of site visits
The mistake I see most often is somebody switching their area policy straight to reject because a checklist told them to. Do that before you have watched the reports and your own mail starts bouncing - the accounting software that emails statements, the copier that scans to email, the marketing platform you forgot about. I run it at monitoring only for a fortnight, collect the list of everything genuinely sending in your name, fix each one, and only then tighten it. The end result is the same; the difference is nobody loses a week of invoices.
An on-premise mail server gives you complete control and no monthly bill, which is a real argument. It also gives you a machine that needs power backup, an operating system to patch, a backup someone must check and a person to restart it at eleven on a Sunday night. If your internet is genuinely unreliable and your mail is entirely internal, keeping it can still make sense; for most offices the maths stopped working years ago.
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.
💡 Engineering Fact: Mail you delete is not kept forever. It stays recoverable for roughly two weeks by default, stretchable to about a month, and after that even Microsoft cannot fetch it back for you.
⚙️ SYSTEM EVALUATION & CHECKLIST
Turnkey Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Metrics Checklist near Bidhan Sarani
🛠️ Workflow Setup
Your company tenant is created and the area verified, which means adding a record at the registrar to prove the name is yours before anything else moves.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Dumping every folder from the old server into one shared library where everybody sees everything undoes in an afternoon whatever privacy the office used to have.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Export a size report from the old mail server so you know whether you are moving 20 GB or 600 GB, because that number decides how many nights the copy runs.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
The mailbox is full again, and somebody's answer is to delete old mail rather than pay for more space.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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. Who fixes it if something breaks after the setup is done?
We do, and you reach a named engineer at our Kolkata desk rather than a ticket queue in another time zone. Every setup includes a settling-in period where we stay close, because the first week is when an odd calendar permission or a stubborn phone profile shows up. After that, most clients around Kolkata keep a monthly support arrangement covering joiners, leavers, licence changes and everyday Outlook and Teams trouble, and that is a recurring fee rather than free aftercare, which we say plainly before you sign. If you prefer to run day-to-day admin in-house, we hand over the admin accounts and written notes and stay available for the difficult ones.
Q. How long does the changeover take, and will email stop working during it?
For an office of ten to fifty people, plan on about a week, of which the actual switchover is one evening. Most of that week is quiet background copying while everyone carries on using the old email exactly as before. On cutover night we point your area at Microsoft, and new mail starts arriving within minutes, although a handful of senders on slow networks can take a few hours to notice the change. Expect a few small irritations the next morning, such as a phone asking for a password again or a signature to be re-added, which is why an engineer stays reachable through that first working day.
💡 Engineering Fact: A strong password stops guessing. It does nothing about the employee who typed it into a convincing fake login page on Tuesday. The prompt on the phone is what makes a stolen password worthless (MFA).
