The call that starts most of these jobs sounds the same. A customer says they never received the quotation, and it has been sitting in their spam folder for three days. Nine times out of ten the area has no proper sender records, so mail servers treat anything from you as suspicious and quietly bin it, and when we move a business in Joka onto Microsoft 365 that is the first thing we fix. Microtech Solutions then tests the mail against real outside mailboxes before we call the job finished.
📍 Annual Maintenance and Renewal for Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration across Kolkata
Twenty people share one info@ login, everybody reads everything, and nobody can say who replied to the enquiry that came in at nine. Give each person their own account and turn the general address into a shared mailbox and the guessing stops, at no extra licence cost. Sent items sit in one place, replies carry a name, and a leaver's access can be removed without twenty people learning a new password. It is usually the first thing we fix.
Your senior salesman resigns, takes his handset with him, and three weeks later a customer asks about the mail he sent in April. On a personal webmail account that thread has simply gone. Inside a company tenant the mailbox stays yours - it can be converted to a shared mailbox, handed to a colleague, or held for an audit without paying for a licence forever. Companies across Kolkata come to us for exactly that, usually after it has already happened once.
💡 The Case for Doing It Properly Once across Kolkata
It is nine at night, the director's phone has stopped pulling mail, and the help page suggests raising a ticket. Buying your licences through a partner in Kolkata means the person who built the tenant is the person who picks up. We hold the admin access, we know why each setting is there, and nobody needs a fifteen-minute explanation before work can start. That is most of what people mean when they say they want local support.
Asking staff for a code on the phone as well as the password is the most useful security change a small company can make, and also the one most likely to ruin a Monday. So we stage it - a pilot group first, staff told in advance about the one-time prompt on their phones, an emergency admin account kept aside, then everyone else (multi-factor authentication). Nobody in your Kolkata office gets locked out of their own mail on a working day. The point of the exercise is simple: knowing the password is no longer enough.
Moving a Company off Free Webmail to Proper Company Email
A car dealership with three showrooms across Kolkata had one email password shared by everyone on the sales floor, printed on a slip stuck to the counter. Every salesperson now has their own account, enquiries land in a shared sales mailbox that the whole floor can work from, and each reply carries a name. When a salesman left mid-quarter, his access was gone the same afternoon and his open enquiries stayed with the branch. The general manager can finally answer the question of who followed up on which enquiry.
🛡️ HOW WE ACTUALLY RUN A MIGRATION
What We Hand Over When the Job Is Finished
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 Joka, 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)
▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp
▪Licence Supply, Renewals and GST Invoicing in Rupees
▪Stopping Sensitive Files Leaving by Email (DLP)
*Note: The setup, migration and support work described here is chargeable, and comes from us as an independent partner - it is not Microsoft's own support line.*
💡 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.

📦 Complete List of What We Supply for growing companies
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.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Desk staff who live in Outlook and Excel all day - accounts, sales, admin and management.
🔹 MEETINGS
Video calls for up to 300 people, recordings, and outside guests who can join without any Microsoft account of their own.
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.
🔹 EVERYTHING IN STANDARD
The same installed apps, 50GB mailboxes, cloud drive and Teams - nothing is traded away to get the security.
🔹 DEVICE CONTROL
Company laptops and phones are enrolled, disks are encrypted by default, and a missing device can be cleared remotely (Intune and BitLocker).
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.
🔹 PHONE ACCESS
The native mail app on Android and iPhone syncs without installing anything extra (Exchange ActiveSync).
🔹 MAILBOX SIZE
50GB on Plan 1. Plan 2 doubles the main mailbox to 100GB and adds an archive that keeps expanding as it fills up.
Moving the Shared Office Drive into SharePoint and OneDrive
For offices still passing files around on a server in the corner, a NAS box, pen drives or WhatsApp. We lift the folders into the cloud with the structure and the permissions intact.
🔹 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.
🔹 TRAINING
A short hands-on session per department, because the migration that fails is the one where staff quietly go back to emailing attachments.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Shift supervisors, drivers, warehouse hands, site engineers and trainees who need an inbox and a Teams message, nothing more.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Not included. Files open and edit in a browser tab or the mobile apps, which covers reading, approving and light changes.
🔹 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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Field sales teams, offices where staff use their own phones for work, and anyone who has already lost a laptop once.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Companies past the small-business seat limit, and firms content with their existing mail who only want current, legal Office on every desk.
🔹 BILLING
Per named person, not per machine. One employee with a desktop, a laptop and a home PC still needs a single seat.
🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
There is no mailbox here. Email either stays where it is or gets bought as a separate Exchange Online plan.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 FIRST MONTH
We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.

🛠️ Setting Up the Tenant: What Gets Done, and in What Order
Nothing on this list is exotic. It is the boring, checkable work that decides whether the Monday after a cutover is quiet or not.
📋 Rollout Across Branches - Site Rules for offices in Joka
🔹Tell staff in writing, the day before, that they will be asked to sign in once more and approve a prompt on their phone; the support calls you avoid by sending that one message are considerable.
🔹Drop the time-to-live on your mail records to five minutes a full two days before the cutover, so that when you finally switch, the internet follows you in minutes rather than hours.
🔹Agree the folder and site structure on paper before a single file is uploaded, because rearranging two hundred gigabytes after the fact is somebody's entire week.

TIME AND MONEY SAVED - THE HIGHLIGHTS
WATCH-OUTS - THE HONEST VERSION
✓Your mail stops landing in customers' spam folders once the area records are written correctly (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
—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).
—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.
✓Attachments from people you have never dealt with get opened in a safe box first, and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks (Safe Links and Safe Attachments).
—Licences are a recurring cost per person, monthly or yearly - stop paying and the mailbox stops working.
✓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.
✓Company email on every phone and laptop, 50 GB per person, with Microsoft's own uptime commitment behind it (Exchange Online).
—Encryption on a document does not stop someone photographing the screen or reading the contents down the phone.
💡 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).

📝 Lessons From Deployments That Went Wrong across Kolkata
Before I switch off the old sign-in methods, I walk the building. In the offices I visit around Joka there is always a copier that scans to email using a password from 2016, an alert from Tally, a CCTV recorder and a website form, and every one of them will break silently the moment those methods are blocked. I list them, move each to a proper modern method or a permitted route, and only then close the door. Blocking them matters - that is where password-guessing attacks come in - but blocking them blind is how you lose a fortnight of goodwill.
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: Mail from your company can land in a customer's spam folder for one dull reason: the receiving server has no list of which machines are allowed to send in your name. That list is a single line in your area settings (an SPF record).

Sender records are then tightened in stages, watching the reports for a week or two, so real mail keeps flowing while forged mail stops.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Letting the area sit inside one person's personal account is a risk nobody notices until that person is unreachable, or unhappy.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Walk the floor with a list before buying anything: mark who lives in Excel all day and who only reads mail on a phone, then price those two groups differently.

📊 Licence Tiers and What Each One Covers for offices in Joka
Almost anything can be migrated from. We regularly move companies off free webmail on a personal address, hosting-company mailboxes bundled with a website, an old Exchange or Zimbra server sitting on site, Google Workspace, or an existing Microsoft tenant somebody else set up badly. What comes across is the mail itself with its folder structure, plus contacts, calendars and any shared calendars in use. What does not come across automatically gets listed for you in advance, so there are no surprises on the Monday.
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.

How Updates Reach Your Office Without an Engineer Visiting
SharePoint and OneDrive replace the file server in the corner. Departments get their own areas with proper permissions, individuals get personal space that follows them between machines, and two people can work on the same spreadsheet at the same time without one overwriting the other. Every earlier version of a file stays recoverable for months, which turns an accidental save-over from a crisis into a two-minute fix.
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.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK
Coordinate custom hardware configurations, AMC maintenance contracts, and site engineering visits directly with authorized integration desks.
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. Can staff use this on their own phones, and can we wipe it if a phone is lost?
Yes to both, with one honest caveat about what wiping means on a personal handset. The device controls in Business Premium keep company mail and files in a managed area on the phone, insist on a screen lock, and let us remove only the company side, leaving the owner's photos, WhatsApp and payment apps completely alone. Staff have to accept the enrolment, so tell them plainly what you can and cannot see, because saying it up front prevents a lot of bad feeling later. On a company-owned laptop or phone we can go further and erase the whole device.
Q. We already run a Windows area in the office. Does that keep working?
Yes, the two can be joined so people use a single password for both. A small sync tool on your server copies user accounts and group memberships up to Microsoft's directory, so the password someone types to unlock their Windows machine is the same one that opens Outlook and Teams. Logon scripts, mapped drives and shared printers carry on as before while email and files move to the cloud. The trade-off is that the server now has to stay healthy, because if the sync stops, password changes stop flowing with it, which is one reason smaller offices often decide to retire the area controller and go cloud-only instead.
Q. 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.
💡 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.
