Not everybody in your company needs the same licence, and buying the top tier for all of them is the easiest way to waste money here. A supervisor who checks mail on a browser twice a day does not need what your finance head needs on a company laptop. We go through the staff list with you and mark who wants installed Office apps, who needs the security and device controls, and who genuinely only needs webmail. Businesses in Kolkata usually find the monthly total drops before the migration has even started.
🧭 Local Engineers for Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration at multi-branch offices
A new joiner starts on Monday and is still without email on Wednesday because nobody is quite sure who creates accounts. When a tenant is built with proper groups and roles, adding a person takes five minutes and mail, files, Teams and folder access all arrive together. Removing somebody is just as quick, which matters more than most owners expect until the day it does. Offices near Itna Colony tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.
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.
🔑 Why Businesses Pick Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration when budgets are tight
A tenant is not something you build once and walk away from - people join, Microsoft changes a default, a policy quietly starts blocking something that worked last month. We stay on afterwards: adding and removing users, watching the security dashboard, reviewing licence counts before the renewal date rather than on it. You deal with someone who already knows your setup instead of explaining it again to a new ticket. Plenty of businesses keep us on for that reason alone.
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.
Files Off WhatsApp and into a Shared Drive for Agencies near Itna Colony
A garment exporter with a unit near Itna Colony and about sixty staff discovered that buyers overseas were receiving payment instructions from an address one letter different from theirs. We took over the area records, published exactly which servers may send on their behalf, watched the reports for two weeks and then moved the policy to reject, so forged mail now fails at the receiving end. Internal alerts from their shipping software were found and fixed during that watching period rather than after. Their finance head no longer starts every payment call by asking the buyer to read the sender address aloud.
🛡️ WHO HOLDS THE KEYS AFTER GO-LIVE
How a Migration Is Planned Before Anyone Touches Your Mail
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 Itna Colony, fixing Outlook profiles and phones one person at a time.
Pick the pieces you need - the list below is what we do:
▪Licence Supply, Renewals and GST Invoicing in Rupees
▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant
▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp
▪Exchange Online Migration from cPanel, Zimbra or Google Workspace
*Note: We act as an independent supplier and integrator. Product names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.*
💡 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.
📱 PHONES AND LAPTOPS
What happens when a staff handset with company mail on it goes missing in Itna Colony? Enrolment now means a wipe from a browser later, with personal photos and chats untouched.
Look through the setup work, the migration steps and the support options listed here:
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 IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
Full management of Windows laptops, app protection policies and BitLocker key backup (Intune), plus attachment sandboxing and sign-in restriction rules - all of that sits in the Premium plan. Enrolled phones can still be wiped from here using the free mobile controls built into this plan (Basic Mobility and Security).
🔹 SETUP TIME
A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.
🔹 MAILBOX SIZE
50GB each, which is several years of mail for most people, plus shared calendars the whole team can see.
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).
🔹 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).
🔹 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).
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 IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
No Teams, no OneDrive, no SharePoint, no Office installs. Email and calendar, full stop.
🔹 KEEPING MAIL FOR AUDITS
Plan 2 can freeze a mailbox so nothing is ever permanently deleted, and lets you search across mailboxes when a dispute or an audit lands (litigation hold and eDiscovery).
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.
🔹 PERMISSIONS
Salary and tender folders lock down to named people, and sharing outside the company can be switched off or limited to approved domains.
🔹 FOLDER STRUCTURE
Separate libraries for Accounts, HR, Sales, Projects and Management instead of one enormous Shared folder everybody tips things into.
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 USER LIMIT
The small-business plans stop at a few hundred seats; beyond that we move you onto the enterprise line instead.
Teams Calling and Meeting Room Setup (Phone System)
For firms who want the reception line, the desk phones and the boardroom screen running through Teams instead of a separate PBX box. Calls follow the person to laptop or mobile.
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
The Teams side is per user per month; the trunk and the call minutes arrive on the operator's own invoice.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
A real phone number inside Teams, with hold, transfer, ring groups, a menu for callers and voicemail dropped into the inbox (Teams Phone).
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).
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
The full installed apps on up to five computers per person, updating themselves quietly, with 1TB of personal cloud storage each.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 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.

PRACTICAL GAINS - IN PLAIN WORDS
PREPARATION YOU WILL NEED SPELLED OUT UPFRONT
✓The finance objection first - a dollar receipt off a website cannot be claimed, so the same licences come invoiced in rupees with GST, the count moving as you hire.
—Scanners and accounting software that send mail need a relay connector configured, otherwise those alerts stop silently.
✓A new laptop can be handed over still in its box and set itself up on first switch-on (Windows Autopilot).
—Business Premium expects Windows 10 or 11 Pro; a Home edition machine will not accept the management policies.
✓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.
✓A second check at login means the password alone opens nothing (multi-factor authentication).
—DMARC pushed straight to reject will bounce your own newsletters and Tally-generated invoices; it needs a watching period first.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—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.
💡 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.

🧮 Licence Tiers and What Each One Covers for larger offices
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.

Data Residency and Where Indian Tenants Are Hosted
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.

🛠️ 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.
🗒️ Where the Datasheet and Reality Differ for demanding workloads
Shared mailboxes are the easiest money most companies leave on the table. Every generic address - info@, sales@, careers@, that old address on the printed brochures - can be a shared mailbox with no licence attached, worked from by as many staff as you like. I have taken over tenants where six of those existed as full paid accounts with somebody's password written down. Converting them costs nothing and takes an afternoon.
Bolting a separate antivirus, a separate mail filter and a separate device management tool together works, and if you already own good ones there is no urgency to change. Premium puts the equivalents in one subscription with one place to look and one renewal to remember. The saving is real but the bigger gain is that a single dashboard tends to actually get checked.
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.
💡 Engineering Fact: accounts@ and sales@ do not need paid licences of their own, as long as each stays under 50GB and the people reading it are licensed. Firms routinely pay for four or five of these without ever realising it.
🛠️ Enrolling Company Laptops and Staff Phones across Kolkata
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 - A Walkthrough across Kolkata
🔹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 Itna Colony - never a Monday, and never the last three days of a month when invoicing is running.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long does the changeover take, and will email stop working during it?
For an office of ten to fifty people, plan on about a week, of which the actual switchover is one evening. Most of that week is quiet background copying while everyone carries on using the old email exactly as before. On cutover night we point your area at Microsoft, and new mail starts arriving within minutes, although a handful of senders on slow networks can take a few hours to notice the change. Expect a few small irritations the next morning, such as a phone asking for a password again or a signature to be re-added, which is why an engineer stays reachable through that first working day.
Q. 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.
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. 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. 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.
💡 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.
🔄 THE REST OF OUR IT WORK
What else we look after for offices in and around Itna Colony
