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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

A partner at a CA firm rang me in the middle of an audit. Two years of client correspondence sat in the mailbox of a man who had left in March, and nobody had his password. On old webmail that is usually a dead end; inside your own private space in Microsoft's cloud, Microtech Solutions can turn that mailbox into a shared one, hand access to whoever needs it, and stop paying for a person who has gone. We set the leaver routine up during the rollout so nobody is improvising the next time somebody resigns.

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

One morning a customer forwards you an invoice on your letterhead, from your email address, with someone else's bank account printed on it. Nobody broke into your mailbox; they forged the sender, because your area never told the world who is allowed to send on its behalf. Fixing it is a configuration job rather than a buy, and it has to be done in the right order with the mail flow watched before enforcement goes on. We do this a lot for export and trading firms in Kolkata that have been caught out once.

Six versions of the same price list are floating around a WhatsApp group and nobody can tell you which one is current. Microsoft 365 replaces that with one file in one place, editable by two people at the same time, with every earlier version recoverable for months (SharePoint and OneDrive). Most of the work is not technical - it is deciding, once, where things are going to live. We agree that structure with your team in Bolpur before a single file gets uploaded.

🎯 Good Reasons to Move Off Your Current Setup in and around Bolpur

A field engineer leaves a laptop in an auto and by evening your entire quotation history is in a stranger's hands. Company laptops and phones enrolled properly can be wiped from a browser, and on a staff member's personal phone only the company half goes while photos and personal chats stay untouched (Intune). Setting this up takes an afternoon and is worth nothing at all if you start it after the phone is gone. We enrol devices during the rollout so the answer already exists on the day you need it.

Headcount in a lot of Indian businesses is not a flat line - a factory office near Bolpur takes on extra hands before a shipping season and lets them go afterwards. Licences bought through us move with that instead of being locked in for twelve months regardless. Seasonal staff can sit on a cheap web-only plan while accounts keeps the full installed apps on two machines each. Paying per person for what that person actually does is the whole idea.

Stopping Forged Invoices Sent in an Export House's Name

A design agency was working entirely out of a WhatsApp group, where the same brochure existed as five files with names ending in final, final2 and use-this-one. We built a small set of client folders in a shared drive, moved the live work into it, and showed the team how two people can edit one file at the same time and still get both sets of changes. Old versions stay recoverable, so an accidental overwrite is a two-minute problem now. Their client calls stopped opening with somebody asking which file is the latest.

🛡️ HONEST SCOPE AND WHAT WE CHARGE FOR

Buying Licences Locally, Billed in Rupees

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:

▪Fixing Mail That Lands in Spam (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

▪Company Phone and Laptop Controls with Intune

▪Exchange Online Migration from cPanel, Zimbra or Google Workspace

▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp

*Please note: Licence prices are set by Microsoft and can change at renewal; our fees for setup and ongoing admin are quoted separately and in writing.*

💡 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 Bolpur

Everything we configure during a tenant build is listed below, along with what stays your decision:

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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).

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 HOW LONG IT TAKES

Down to data size and upload speed - a few hundred GB on an ordinary office line runs over several nights.

🔹 PERMISSIONS

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

🔹 WORKING OFFLINE

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

Microsoft 365 Business Basic - Webmail for Shift and Shop-Floor Staff

The entry plan for giving every employee a proper company address without buying installed Office for people who will never open Excel. Runs in a browser and on the phone.

🔹 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.

🔹 SETUP TIME

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

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

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

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.

🔹 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).

🔹 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 Bolpur 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.

🔹 SETUP TIME

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

🔹 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).

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 BILLING

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

🔹 LICENCE RIGHT-SIZING

Each quarter we list who is paying for what, point out the seats nobody has signed into for months, and drop or downgrade them at renewal.

🛠️ Mailbox Plan: Who Needs a Licence and Who Needs a Shared Address

Read this before migration day. It is the running order our engineers work through, and the one your staff will feel the effects of.

🏢 Labelling & Documentation - Explained Simply anywhere in Kolkata

🔹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 businesses in Kolkata

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.

Vendor Support Versus the Help You Need at Nine at Night

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.

💬 Questions Customers Ask Us Most in and around Bolpur

Do not lift an old file server into the cloud as it stands. Fifteen years of nested folders will have paths too long to survive the move, filenames with symbols the cloud refuses, and permissions inherited from people who left in 2014. I map the structure first, agree with the department heads what actually needs to come over, and rebuild it in a shape somebody could explain in a sentence. What gets copied afterwards is smaller, tidier and far less likely to break the sync client.

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

The mailboxes your web hosting company throws in with the website are cheap and they do work. What they usually do not give you is a mailbox large enough to hold years of mail, proper calendar sharing, or an address book that everyone sees. They also share a mail server with hundreds of other customers, so if one of them sends spam your quotations get caught up in the same blacklist.

💡 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.

🧰 What Is Included and What Costs Extra for offices in Bolpur

Type of Business	What We Set Up	Typical Time Needed
CA and Law Firms	A mailbox per partner, client folders only the right team can open, and leavers' mail kept for audits	About a week for a 25-person practice
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
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

⏱️ Behaviour on a Slow Internet Line in and around Bolpur

Video meetings hold up on a modest connection if cameras are capped and screen sharing is used sparingly.

WHAT YOU GET FOR THE MONEY AT A GLANCE

REAL LIMITS SET OUT PLAINLY

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

—DMARC pushed straight to reject will bounce your own newsletters and Tally-generated invoices; it needs a watching period first.

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

—Standard mailboxes stop at 50 GB and the archive is not unlimited on the lower plans; heavy users do hit the ceiling.

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

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

✓One username opens everything, and switching a leaver off takes a single click (Microsoft Entra ID).

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

✓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).

—If both the admin credentials and the emergency account are lost, getting control back from Microsoft is slow and painful.

💡 Engineering Fact: SPF and DKIM only check. DMARC is the instruction telling the world's mail servers what to do when a message claiming to be you fails those checks - and it posts you a regular report of who has been trying.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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. Can we buy licences in rupees with a proper GST invoice?

Yes. Buying through Microtech Solutions as your licensing supplier means a rupee invoice with GST on it that your accountant can claim against, rather than a foreign card charge appearing on somebody's statement. You can pay monthly or take the annual term, and the annual term works out cheaper per user but fixes that seat for the year. Do treat licences as a running cost rather than a one-time buy, budgeted the same way you budget the internet connection, because it renews whether or not anybody reviews it.

Q. Can staff use this on their own phones, and can we wipe it if a phone is lost?

Yes to both, with one honest caveat about what wiping means on a personal handset. The device controls in Business Premium keep company mail and files in a managed area on the phone, insist on a screen lock, and let us remove only the company side, leaving the owner's photos, WhatsApp and payment apps completely alone. Staff have to accept the enrolment, so tell them plainly what you can and cannot see, because saying it up front prevents a lot of bad feeling later. On a company-owned laptop or phone we can go further and erase the whole device.

Q. 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.

💡 Engineering Fact: During a mail move the internet learns your new destination only as fast as your DNS allows. Lower the time-to-live value a day early and the switch takes minutes instead of dragging on all night (MX record TTL).
