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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Affordable Microsoft 365 Business Setup & Admin Support in Howrah Maidan

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.

📞 Annual Maintenance and Renewal for Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration close to Howrah Maidan

Technician typing company email DNS records into a area control panel at a Kolkata office

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 Howrah Maidan

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.

Support After Go-Live and Who to Ring

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.

🗂️ Available Options and Typical Fit in and around Howrah Maidan

The tables below set out plan differences plainly, plus the add-ons most offices end up needing:

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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).

🔹 EVERYTHING IN STANDARD

The same installed apps, 50GB mailboxes, cloud drive and Teams - nothing is traded away to get the security.

🔹 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.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

No Teams, no OneDrive, no SharePoint, no Office installs. Email and calendar, full stop.

🔹 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).

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 PERMISSIONS

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

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

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

🔹 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.

🔹 WHY IT SAVES MONEY

Most firms find half their headcount never touches installed Office. Putting those people here and leaving desk staff on Standard cuts the monthly bill with nobody losing an address.

🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS

Not included. Files open and edit in a browser tab or the mobile apps, which covers reading, approving and light changes.

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).

🔹 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.

🔹 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).

Device Management and Lost-Phone Control (Microsoft Intune)

For firms worried about what walks out of the building on a staff phone or laptop. Company data can be removed from a missing device without touching the owner's photos.

🔹 IF A PHONE IS LOST

You raise it from a browser and the company mail, files and Teams data are cleared from that handset the moment it next touches a network.

🔹 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).

🔹 SETUP TIME

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

Desktop Office Licensing for Larger Firms (Microsoft 365 Apps)

Installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for organisations that have outgrown the small-business plans or already run their email somewhere else. No ceiling on user count.

🔹 BILLING

Per named person, not per machine. One employee with a desktop, a laptop and a home PC still needs a single seat.

🔹 ROLLOUT

Installs can be pushed to machines over the network rather than walking desk to desk, once the package and update channel are agreed.

🔹 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.

🔹 FIRST MONTH

We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.

🔹 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.

🔹 SECURITY REVIEW

A standing check of admin accounts, odd sign-in alerts, forwarding rules nobody remembers creating, and how many staff still have no second login check.

TIME AND MONEY SAVED - THE SHORT VERSION

WATCH-OUTS WITHOUT THE SALES PITCH

✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).

—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.

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

—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.

✓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).

—PST files scattered across staff desktops must be hunted down and imported, and nobody ever knows how many exist.

✓Sign-ins from an unknown laptop in another country can be blocked while your office carries on as normal (conditional access).

—Web-only apps come with the cheapest plan - installed Word and Excel need the mid-tier licence at minimum.

✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.

—Multi-factor login means everybody must carry a phone they will actually use, and the first week brings grumbling.

💡 Engineering Fact: Microsoft commits to 99.9% availability with service credits if it misses. Read that honestly: outages are rare but not impossible, so the fallback plan is a mobile phone and a second internet line, not a spare mail server in the cupboard.

🧠 Lessons From Deployments That Went Wrong throughout Kolkata

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.

The free tier of Teams, or running the company on WhatsApp, costs nothing and everyone already has it. It also means company files sit on personal handsets, a departing employee walks out with the group history, and there is no way to control who is in a conversation. The moment your files or your customer lists are in those chats, the free option has become the expensive one.

A network drive in the office with remote access bolted on is familiar and fast on the local network. It also assumes your office internet is up, that the drive is being backed up somewhere else, and that whoever configured the remote access did it safely. A cloud drive removes the box, the backup worry and the remote access risk in one go, at the cost of a monthly line on the bill.

💡 Engineering Fact: The invoice fraud that hits exporters and traders rarely involves any hacking. Someone registers a area one letter off yours, watches the thread, then sends your buyer fresh bank details at exactly the right moment. Area records plus a phone call to confirm account changes end it.

🛠️ Microsoft 365 Migration Day: What Happens, Hour by Hour, for Offices in Howrah Maidan

Before a single mailbox moves for an office in Howrah Maidan, the checks below get ticked off one by one; skipping them is how mail quietly disappears.

🧰 Rollout Across Branches - Site Rules for offices in Howrah Maidan

🔹Schedule the actual switch for a Friday evening or the start of a long weekend in Howrah Maidan - 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.
🔹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.

🛠️ Workflow Setup

The final switch happens out of hours, a Saturday night or a Sunday morning, with the routing changed and a live test mail sent before we stop for the night.

⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid

Switching the area's anti-forgery policy to full reject on day one will bounce your own newsletters and your accounting software; publish it loose, read the reports, then tighten.

🔌 Guidelines & Sizing

Budget the renewal now rather than next year, since licences are an annual line item like insurance and the count usually creeps upward as you hire.

📃 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide around Howrah Maidan

What we take on is worth pinning down before anyone talks about price. This service suits companies of roughly five to three hundred users who want proper company email, a shared drive and Teams, set up once and properly. Microtech Solutions handles the licence choice, the tenant, the area records, the mailbox and file move, the device and security settings, and the walkthrough with your staff at the end. Businesses in Howrah Maidan get the same running order at eight seats as at two hundred.

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.

How Updates Reach Your Office Without an Engineer Visiting

There are three plans most Indian businesses choose between. Business Basic covers mail, files and Teams with the Office apps running in a browser. Business Standard adds the full applications installed on desktops, laptops and phones. Business Premium adds the security and device controls: protection against fake invoices and links that lead somewhere they should not, plus full management of company laptops and staff handsets.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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 do you handle the huge PST archive files sitting on people's laptops?

We collect them and load them into online archive mailboxes, so the mail becomes searchable from any device instead of being stranded on one machine. PST files are the most fragile part of any old email setup: they corrupt, they get copied onto pen drives, and they vanish along with the laptop. Loading years of archive eats time and bandwidth, so we normally run it after cutover rather than letting it hold up the go-live date. Bear in mind that very large archives need a higher licence level, which occasionally changes what we recommend for two or three long-serving staff.

Q. Can our Tally software and the office printer still send emails after the move?

Yes, but every one of them needs reconfiguring, and this is the step most businesses forget until the first invoice fails to leave the building. Anything that sends mail on its own, whether it is Tally, the scan-to-email button on the copier, an ERP mailing buy orders or the website enquiry form, has to be pointed at the new service with proper credentials or approved as a legitimate sender for your area. We write down every such device and application before cutover, then test each one the same evening. Older printers that only support outdated, unencrypted sending sometimes need a firmware update or a small relay arrangement.

Q. How long does the changeover take, and will email stop working during it?

For an office of ten to fifty people, plan on about a week, of which the actual switchover is one evening. Most of that week is quiet background copying while everyone carries on using the old email exactly as before. On cutover night we point your area at Microsoft, and new mail starts arriving within minutes, although a handful of senders on slow networks can take a few hours to notice the change. Expect a few small irritations the next morning, such as a phone asking for a password again or a signature to be re-added, which is why an engineer stays reachable through that first working day.

💡 Engineering Fact: Mail you delete is not kept forever. It stays recoverable for roughly two weeks by default, stretchable to about a month, and after that even Microsoft cannot fetch it back for you.
