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 Bodakdev onto Microsoft 365 that is the first thing we fix. Microtech Solutions then tests the mail against real outside mailboxes before we call the job finished.
📍 Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Supply, Setup and Support across Ahmedabad
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 Ahmedabad come to us for exactly that, usually after it has already happened once.
💡 The Case for Doing It Properly Once across Ahmedabad
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 Ahmedabad 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 Ahmedabad 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 Ahmedabad had one email password shared by everyone on the sales floor, printed on a slip stuck to the counter. Every salesperson now has their own account, enquiries land in a shared sales mailbox that the whole floor can work from, and each reply carries a name. When a salesman left mid-quarter, his access was gone the same afternoon and his open enquiries stayed with the branch. The general manager can finally answer the question of who followed up on which enquiry.
🛡️ HOW WE ACTUALLY RUN A MIGRATION
What We Hand Over When the Job Is Finished
Licences are purchased and invoiced here in India, in rupees, against your company name with GST shown. Seats can be added when you hire and dropped at renewal, instead of arguing with a card payment on a website. We claim no special badge from Microsoft - what we offer is a local bill, a working setup, and a number that gets answered.
Here are the jobs clients ask for most often:
▪Exchange Online Migration from cPanel, Zimbra or Google Workspace
▪Third-Party Mailbox Backup for Microsoft 365
▪Single Sign-On and Second-Check Login (Entra ID, MFA)
▪Moving Old Email with Folders and Contacts Intact
*Note: The setup, migration and support work described here is chargeable, and comes from us as an independent partner - it is not Microsoft's own support line.*
💡 Engineering Fact: The 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.

📦 Available Options and Typical Fit for first-time buyers
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.
🔹 MEETINGS
Video calls for up to 300 people, recordings, and outside guests who can join without any Microsoft account of their own.
🔹 SETUP TIME
A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.
🔹 FILE STORAGE
1TB of personal cloud space each, team libraries alongside it, and old versions kept so an accidental overwrite is not fatal.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium - Standard Plus Security and Device Control
For firms holding client money, patient records or drawings, where one stolen laptop is a real problem. Everything in Standard, with device control and tougher sign-in rules layered on.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.
🔹 SHARED ADDRESSES
Accounts@ and sales@ sit beside the paid mailboxes without needing licences of their own.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.
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.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 PHONE FIRST
Staff with no company laptop still get their mail, the staff directory and Teams on a personal Android handset.
🔹 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).
🔹 USER LIMIT
The small-business plans stop at a few hundred seats; beyond that we move you onto the enterprise line instead.
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.
🔹 HOW CALLS REACH THE NETWORK
We connect Teams to an Indian telecom operator's lines so the numbers printed on your visiting cards keep working (Direct Routing or Operator Connect).
🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Call quality is an internet question, not a Microsoft one. We test the office link and the backup line around Bodakdev before anyone signs anything.
🔹 CALL REPORTING
Who rang, who missed it, how long people waited - the numbers a sales head actually asks about on Monday.
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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
One working session to agree the policies, then devices enrolled in batches so the support calls stay manageable.
🔹 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.
🔹 HOW IT'S LICENSED
Bundled inside Business Premium, or bought on its own by firms that only want the device side (Intune Plan 1).
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.
🔹 ROLLOUT
Installs can be pushed to machines over the network rather than walking desk to desk, once the package and update channel are agreed.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Companies past the small-business seat limit, and firms content with their existing mail who only want current, legal Office on every desk.
Ongoing Microsoft 365 Support and Licence Management (Monthly Retainer)
Somebody to call when a new joiner needs an address by 9am or a director cannot sign in before a flight. We look after the tenant month to month so it stops drifting.
🔹 WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY RING ABOUT
A phone left in a taxi, a mail that bounced, a shared calendar nobody can open, a folder deleted at 6pm on Friday.
🔹 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.
🔹 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).

🛠️ Setting Up the Tenant: What Gets Done, and in What Order
If you are handing this to your own IT person, work through the sequence as written - the order matters considerably more than any individual step.
⚙️ Data Migration & Cutover - The Plan for small and mid-sized teams
🔹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.
🔹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).

🛠️ Workflow Setup
The next morning phones and desktops are reconfigured one by one, until every device a person genuinely uses is on the new mailbox.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Changing the mail routing at eleven on a Tuesday morning is how a day of orders goes missing - the switch belongs to a quiet night.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Decide separately whether you want a third-party backup for the mailboxes and the shared drive, because that is a different product with its own bill.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
Mail works on the laptop but not on the phone, or the other way round, and it is a fresh argument every week.
📊 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide for offices in Bodakdev
The plan tiers matter more than most buyers are told. Business Basic gives mail, the shared drive and Teams with the apps in a browser; Standard adds Word, Excel and Outlook installed on the machine; Premium adds the security and device controls on top of that. Different people in the same company usually need different ones, and you can mix them freely on one bill. We recommend the mix in writing before anything is ordered so you can see the reasoning.
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.

What Microsoft Runs, and What It Leaves to You
Exchange Online is the mail half, and it is the reason most companies move. Each user gets a large mailbox that keeps in step across a laptop, a phone and a browser, so a message read on the way home is already read when you sit down. Shared team calendars, one company address book and generic addresses like info@ or accounts@ that several staff work from are all part of it, and the general addresses need no licence of their own.
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.

CLEAR ADVANTAGES - THE HIGHLIGHTS
COSTS BEYOND THE QUOTE - THE HONEST VERSION
✓An ex-employee's mailbox can be kept readable for audit purposes without paying full price for that seat.
—Microsoft does not keep a deleted mailbox forever; past the retention window it is gone, so backup is a separate product you buy on top.
✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.
—Licences are a recurring cost per person, monthly or yearly - stop paying and the mailbox stops working.
✓The finance objection first - a dollar receipt off a website cannot be claimed, so the same licences come invoiced in rupees with GST, the count moving as you hire.
—Outlook 2013 and older will not connect, so a few desktops need the newer version installed before the move.
✓Files carrying bank details or customer data can be stopped from leaving by mail automatically (data loss prevention).
—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.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.
💡 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).

📝 Engineer Notes From Real Installations across Ahmedabad
Before I switch off the old sign-in methods, I walk the building. In the offices I visit around Bodakdev 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.
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: Your tenant is your own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, and your area belongs to you whoever set it up. If a former vendor is sitting on the admin account, control can be recovered by proving you own the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. 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. 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.
Q. How long does the changeover take, and will email stop working during it?
For an office of ten to fifty people, plan on about a week, of which the actual switchover is one evening. Most of that week is quiet background copying while everyone carries on using the old email exactly as before. On cutover night we point your area at Microsoft, and new mail starts arriving within minutes, although a handful of senders on slow networks can take a few hours to notice the change. Expect a few small irritations the next morning, such as a phone asking for a password again or a signature to be re-added, which is why an engineer stays reachable through that first working day.
Q. 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. 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.
💡 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).
