Somebody leaves a phone in an auto. Two hours later you remember it had company mail, a folder of client files and the office group on it, and there is nothing you can do. With Business Premium and device enrolment, Microtech Solutions can wipe only the work data off that handset from a browser and leave the owner's own photos alone. We set this up on every staff phone during the rollout, including field teams working across Kolkata, so a lost handset becomes a five-minute job rather than a bad week.
💼 Sizing, Licensing and Ordering Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration in Dighi Road
Licences bought on a director's credit card arrive with a dollar receipt, no GST input and a support page in another time zone. Buying the same subscriptions through a local partner gets you a rupee invoice, seats you can add or drop as headcount moves, and a number a person answers (Cloud Solution Provider). The software is identical, because it is Microsoft's either way - the billing and the help are not. Microtech Solutions bills in INR and sets up what it sells.
A quotation you sent on Tuesday turns up in the customer's spam folder on Friday, by which time the order has gone somewhere else. Nine times out of ten the mail itself was fine and the area simply had nothing telling the receiving server it was genuine. Setting up Microsoft 365 properly means those records get written and tested before anyone switches over (SPF, DKIM and DMARC). Microtech Solutions does that as part of every tenant we build for businesses around Dighi Road.
🤝 What You Get That Cheaper Options Skip in Dighi Road
The week of a mail move is the week everyone remembers, so we plan it around your business rather than ours. Mail routing is switched after hours, both the old and new systems carry mail for a while, and nothing is deleted from the old platform for a fortnight. If something looks wrong on Monday morning there is a way back, which is the part rushed migrations always skip. Microtech Solutions has done enough of these to know where mail actually goes missing.
Software nobody was shown how to use gets quietly ignored, and six months later the team is back on WhatsApp. After go-live we sit with your staff for an hour or two: where files live now, how to open a shared calendar, what that new prompt on their phone means. The people who resist hardest are usually the ones who have used the same folder since 2011, and they come round the first time search finds something in two seconds. For rollouts around Dighi Road the walkthrough is part of the job, not an upsell.
Phones, Patient Records and Remote Wipe at a Clinic
A school in Kolkata running two hundred staff on free personal webmail could not stop parents receiving circulars from addresses that looked nothing like the school. Over one vacation week we created named accounts on the school's own area, moved the mail teachers wanted to keep, and left the old accounts readable for a month while everyone adjusted. Class groups and a shared calendar replaced the parallel WhatsApp groups the office had been maintaining by hand. The principal's office now sends one circular from one address that parents recognise.
🛡️ PLANNING, ROLLBACK AND RISK CONTROL
The Audit We Run First, and Why It Matters
Cutovers are done out of hours - a Friday night or a Saturday morning - because nobody wants mail stopping at eleven on a working day. An engineer stays reachable through the weekend while the final sync catches up. Monday is then spent at your desks in Dighi Road, fixing Outlook profiles and phones one person at a time.
Pick the pieces you need - the list below is what we do:
▪Single Sign-On and Second-Check Login (Entra ID, MFA)
▪Fixing Mail That Lands in Spam (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant
▪Third-Party Mailbox Backup for Microsoft 365
*Advisory: Response times in a support agreement are ours to meet; Microsoft publishes its own service commitments separately.*
💡 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.
🔐 LOGIN SECURITY, STAGED
Want a login check on everyone's phone without a Monday full of locked-out staff across Dighi Road? We roll it out in stages, warn people first, and keep an emergency account aside.
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.
🔹 MAILBOX SIZE
50GB each, which is several years of mail for most people, plus shared calendars the whole team can see.
🔹 SETUP TIME
A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.
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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
CA firms, clinics, exporters, and any office where staff carry customer data around on a laptop.
🔹 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).
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 TRAINING
A short hands-on session per department, because the migration that fails is the one where staff quietly go back to emailing attachments.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Adding Basic users to a tenant whose area is already verified is a same-hour job.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Offices nursing an ageing EPABX, retail chains across several branches, and support desks that need calls reaching staff working from home.
🔹 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.
🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Call quality is an internet question, not a Microsoft one. We test the office link and the backup line around Dighi Road 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.
🔹 NEW LAPTOP SETUP
A machine can be couriered straight to a branch, unboxed by whoever is there, and configure itself to your settings on first sign-in (Autopilot).
🔹 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.
🔹 PERSONAL PHONES
On a staff member's own device only the work apps are governed - nobody at the office can see their gallery, contacts or WhatsApp (app protection policies).
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.
🔹 LICENCE CHECKS
Each install phones home periodically, so a laptop kept offline for weeks will ask its user to sign in again.
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.
🔹 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.
🔹 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).

Migration order is not a matter of taste. Check the area, create the accounts, seed the historical mail while everything still flows to the old system, then switch the mail routing, then run one final pass to pick up whatever arrived during the changeover. Skip the seeding and you are copying years of mail during the window when people want to work. Do the final pass badly and a day's correspondence quietly vanishes.
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 YOU GET FOR THE MONEY SUMMED UP
REAL LIMITS - BEFORE YOU SIGN
✓Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint install properly on up to five devices per person, not just in a browser.
—Multi-factor login means everybody must carry a phone they will actually use, and the first week brings grumbling.
✓Everything sits in one admin console that we hand over to you in writing, passwords and recovery details included.
—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.
✓Sign-ins from an unknown laptop in another country can be blocked while your office carries on as normal (conditional access).
—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).
—Scanners and accounting software that send mail need a relay connector configured, otherwise those alerts stop silently.
✓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.
💡 Engineering Fact: Take the licence off a user and a clock starts. Mailbox and OneDrive contents are held for about a month, then removed. Pull the files out before you free the seat, not after.

🗒️ Licence Tiers and What Each One Covers in Dighi Road
Mail reputation is treated as part of the build, not an extra. We publish which servers are allowed to send in your name, add the signing keys, then watch the reports for a couple of weeks before tightening the policy to reject forged mail. Alerts sent by your own accounting software, the office copier and the website contact form are found and included during that watching period. The outcome you notice is straightforward: proposals reach inboxes, and nobody can invoice your customers in your name.
File and collaboration work is planned on paper first. Departments get their own areas with permissions that match how the company actually works, personal working files go to each user's own space, and everything keeps a version history you can roll back through. Teams is set up by department with the files attached to the right conversation instead of scattered across handsets. Where an old file server is involved, path lengths and file names are checked before anything is copied.

Vendor Support Versus the Help You Need at Nine at Night
Microsoft Teams is where the WhatsApp groups end up. Departments get channels, calls and video meetings run inside the same window, and the file being discussed is attached to the conversation rather than forwarded around handsets. For companies with a plant, a head office and people on the road, it removes a lot of the phone tag that eats a working morning.
Defender for Business, included with the Premium plan, is the protection layer. It checks links inside incoming mail at the moment somebody clicks them, opens unfamiliar attachments away from the machine before they reach the desk, and watches endpoints for the behaviour that precedes a ransomware run. Because it is part of the same subscription, there is no separate antivirus renewal to keep track of.

🛠️ Workflow Setup
We finish with a walkthrough for staff and a written handover of the admin account, and our Kolkata desk stays reachable through the settling-in weeks.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Skipping the half-hour walkthrough with staff saves nothing, because the calls you avoid on Friday all arrive together on Monday.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Turn generic addresses into shared mailboxes at the planning stage - accounts, dispatch, careers, info - instead of buying a paid user for each of them.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
The auditor asks how long you keep email and who can read it, and there is no honest answer to give.
🛠️ Admin Roles, the Emergency Account and Who Holds the Keys
Companies near Dighi Road usually want to know what actually happens on the day, so here is the plan written down rather than described over a phone call.
✅ Power and Backup - Explained Simply anywhere in Kolkata
🔹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 Dighi Road - never a Monday, and never the last three days of a month when invoicing is running.
🔹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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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. Our broadband is slow and drops during the day. Will people still be able to work?
Mostly yes, and the first few days are the real test. Outlook keeps a full copy of each mailbox on the laptop, so staff carry on reading and writing during an outage and everything sends when the line comes back, whereas a Teams call feels every hiccup immediately. The heavy part is the initial download of mailboxes and files, which we schedule overnight or stagger a few users at a time so the office line is not choked during business hours. If the connection drops every day, a second broadband link from a different provider will do more for you than anything we can change in software.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
💡 Engineering Fact: Microsoft licences follow the person, not the machine. One employee may install Office on an office desktop, a laptop and a home PC on the same seat - but two people sharing one seat is an audit problem waiting to happen.
