Nothing derails a month-end like a mailbox that has stopped receiving because it is full, and it always happens to the person raising invoices. Old accounts on cheap hosting run out of room quickly, and the usual fix is deleting mail somebody will want later. Microsoft 365 gives each person far more room, plus an archive that moves older mail out of the way instead of throwing it away. Microtech Solutions sizes all of this at the start, so nobody is hunting for attachments to delete at nine at night.
📞 Buying Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Without the Guesswork close to Haldia Port
You are paying for thirty licences and the accounts team can name about twenty-two people. Somewhere along the way somebody sold everyone the same plan, including the shop floor supervisor who only ever reads mail on a phone. A licence review usually shows that a mix of plans costs less than one plan for all, and that two or three seats can be dropped outright. We do the counting first and the quotation second, which is the opposite of how licences normally get sold.
The mail server sits in a cupboard behind the accounts room, and everyone in the office knows the sound it makes when the power flickers. Small companies across Kolkata ran their own mail for years because there was no sensible alternative; there is one now, and it needs no UPS, no antivirus renewal and nobody to restart it on a Sunday. Moving those mailboxes into Microsoft's cloud takes a weekend and keeps every old message, contact and calendar entry. The cupboard machine stays readable for a fortnight afterwards, just in case.
👍 Why Owners Stop Worrying About This close to Haldia Port
Most companies we meet have three domains: the one on the website, one from a brand name they stopped using, and one somebody registered years ago and forgot. Mail arriving on all three, none of them authenticated, is an administrative headache and a security hole in the same breath. Bringing them into one tenant gives you one address book, one set of records to keep, and old addresses that still deliver to the right person. It is dull work that removes a surprising amount of daily friction.
Auditors ask awkward questions about mail from three years ago, and 'the employee took his laptop' is not an answer that survives the meeting. How far back you can search is decided by retention and archive settings, and those need choosing at setup rather than after the request arrives. For CA firms in Kolkata, and for anyone getting ready for the data protection rules now coming in (DPDP Act), we place holds on the mailboxes that matter and write down what is kept and for how long. Nobody enjoys this conversation, but it is far cheaper before than after.
Shared Logins Replaced with Named Accounts at a Multi-Branch Dealership
A commodity trading office of eighteen people was paying for the top plan for every seat, including four warehouse staff who read mail on a phone and nothing else. We went through the list person by person, moved the warehouse and reception seats to a web-only plan, kept the full installed apps for accounts and the directors, and dropped two accounts belonging to people who had left. The bill came down at renewal without anybody losing a feature they were actually using. They now do the same review with us each year before the renewal date.
🛡️ ON-SITE PRACTICE AND FIELD EXPERIENCE
Support After Go-Live and Who to Ring
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:

💡 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.

🗂️ Full Range with Honest Comparisons across Kolkata
Scan the options, then tell us your headcount and we will suggest a mix that avoids waste:
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.
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.
🔹 EVERYTHING IN STANDARD
The same installed apps, 50GB mailboxes, cloud drive and Teams - nothing is traded away to get the security.
🔹 SECURITY
Attachments are opened in a sealed test area and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks, so a fake invoice PDF does not get its first click (Defender for Business).
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 YOU GET
Mail, calendar, contacts and shared calendars on your own area, syncing to Outlook, phones and any browser.
🔹 PHONE ACCESS
The native mail app on Android and iPhone syncs without installing anything extra (Exchange ActiveSync).
🔹 SPAM AND VIRUS FILTERING
Every incoming message passes Microsoft's filters before it reaches anyone, which removes the bulk of junk and known malware (Exchange Online Protection).
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Any office in Kolkata where the file server is ageing, the backup is nobody's job, and staff away from the desk cannot reach the data.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Shift supervisors, drivers, warehouse hands, site engineers and trainees who need an inbox and a Teams message, nothing more.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Adding Basic users to a tenant whose area is already verified is a same-hour job.
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).
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
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).
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 ROLLOUT
Installs can be pushed to machines over the network rather than walking desk to desk, once the package and update channel are agreed.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 FIRST MONTH
We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.

WHAT WORKS IN DAILY USE - THE SHORT VERSION
WHO IT DOES NOT SUIT WITHOUT THE SALES PITCH
✓Sign-ins from an unknown laptop in another country can be blocked while your office carries on as normal (conditional access).
—If both the admin credentials and the emergency account are lost, getting control back from Microsoft is slow and painful.
✓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).
—A 60 GB mailbox on an ordinary office line takes days to copy, so the big accounts are started well before cutover night.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—Guest sharing in Teams and SharePoint starts open and has to be tightened deliberately, or documents wander off quietly.
✓Files carrying bank details or customer data can be stopped from leaving by mail automatically (data loss prevention).
—DMARC pushed straight to reject will bounce your own newsletters and Tally-generated invoices; it needs a watching period first.
✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.
—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: 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 deserve an afternoon of somebody's honest attention. Premium is genuinely worth it for anyone handling money, customer data or company laptops, but putting it on a warehouse supervisor who reads two mails a day on a phone is money burnt. I build the list person by person with the office manager sitting next to me, because she knows who actually opens Excel and who does not. That single conversation usually saves more than the setup fee.
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.
Buying licences directly on a card gets you the same software at broadly the same price, so the question is what happens afterwards. You get a foreign-currency receipt, no local tax invoice, and a support process that begins with a web form. Through Microtech Solutions you get rupee billing with GST, seats you can change, and an engineer who already knows why your tenant is configured the way it is.
💡 Engineering Fact: A mailbox stores mail and needs a licence. An alias is just a second address into the same mailbox and costs nothing. A distribution list stores nothing at all - it copies incoming mail to a group. Picking the wrong one is how firms overpay for years.

🛠️ Workflow Setup
Users, shared mailboxes and department groups are built to match how your office is actually organised, not how an old org chart says it is.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Buying the top plan for all fifty staff when eight of them need it is the commonest way to overspend, and that money goes out again every single year.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Fix the cutover window with the people it affects - a weekend, a public holiday or a festival shutdown suits most offices in Kolkata far better than a Wednesday.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
A staff member leaves and the customer correspondence goes with them, because it was living in a personal account.
📃 What the Numbers Mean for Your Office around Haldia Port
Commercially it is simple. Licences are invoiced in rupees with GST, monthly or annually, through a partner arrangement with Microsoft rather than a credit card on a website. Seat counts can move up and down as staff join, leave or come in for a season, and we review the total ahead of every renewal date rather than on it. Setup and migration work is quoted separately and once, so you can see exactly what is subscription and what is a one-time cost.
After go-live, somebody still has to own it. That means adding joiners, dealing with leavers properly, keeping an eye on the security dashboard, and answering the question of why a policy has started blocking something. We hold the admin access with your permission and work to agreed response times, and you can take that access back at any point. The tenant is yours; we simply run it for you.

Inside Microsoft's Data Centres: Where Your Mail Actually Lives
Buying through a Cloud Solution Provider changes the commercial side, not the software. Microtech Solutions sells the identical Microsoft subscriptions with a rupee invoice, GST input, flexible seat counts and an engineering team that sets the tenant up, moves your mail and answers the phone afterwards. The same team handles licensing, migration and ongoing administration for companies across the country.
Microsoft 365 is a subscription that bundles the things an office runs on: company email, the Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook you already know, a shared drive reachable from anywhere, and Teams for calls and chat. Rather than buying software once and living with it for a decade, you pay per person per month and every part stays current. The whole thing sits in your company's own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, which is what the industry calls a tenant.

🛠️ Microsoft 365 Migration Day: What Happens, Hour by Hour, for Offices in Haldia Port
Most of what goes wrong with an email move goes wrong in the area records, so these notes spend more time on DNS than on software.
🛠️ Access and Passwords - Our Standards for busy workplaces
🔹Count and measure every mailbox before you promise a timeline; a twelve-year-old account with 40GB in it behaves nothing like a new joiner's, and that is what decides whether the move takes a night or a weekend.
🔹Put the sender records in first and in order - publish the permitted senders, then the signing keys, and only then start monitoring before you ever move to enforcement (SPF, then DKIM, then DMARC).
🔹Schedule the actual switch for a Friday evening or the start of a long weekend in Haldia Port - never a Monday, and never the last three days of a month when invoicing is running.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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. 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. Do we still need a separate backup if everything is in Microsoft's cloud?
Yes, and this is the misunderstanding we correct most often. Microsoft's job is keeping the service running and the data centres alive; it is not keeping a copy of the folder your accountant deleted in March. Deleted items and old versions sit in recycle bins for a limited window and then they are genuinely gone, and ransomware that encrypts a synced OneDrive folder will cheerfully sync the damage upward. A separate cloud-to-cloud backup takes its own copy of mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint on its own schedule, and it is an additional per-user subscription, which for most businesses is money well spent.
Q. Who fixes it if something breaks after the setup is done?
We do, and you reach a named engineer at our Kolkata desk rather than a ticket queue in another time zone. Every setup includes a settling-in period where we stay close, because the first week is when an odd calendar permission or a stubborn phone profile shows up. After that, most clients around Kolkata keep a monthly support arrangement covering joiners, leavers, licence changes and everyday Outlook and Teams trouble, and that is a recurring fee rather than free aftercare, which we say plainly before you sign. If you prefer to run day-to-day admin in-house, we hand over the admin accounts and written notes and stay available for the difficult ones.
💡 Engineering Fact: A 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).
