A partner at a CA firm rang me in the middle of an audit. Two years of client correspondence sat in the mailbox of a man who had left in March, and nobody had his password. On old webmail that is usually a dead end; inside your own private space in Microsoft's cloud, Microtech Solutions can turn that mailbox into a shared one, hand access to whoever needs it, and stop paying for a person who has gone. We set the leaver routine up during the rollout so nobody is improvising the next time somebody resigns.
🏢 Microsoft Supply and Aftercare for Business Buyers in and around Khanna
One morning a customer forwards you an invoice on your letterhead, from your email address, with someone else's bank account printed on it. Nobody broke into your mailbox; they forged the sender, because your area never told the world who is allowed to send on its behalf. Fixing it is a configuration job rather than a buy, and it has to be done in the right order with the mail flow watched before enforcement goes on. We do this a lot for export and trading firms in Kolkata that have been caught out once.
Six versions of the same price list are floating around a WhatsApp group and nobody can tell you which one is current. Microsoft 365 replaces that with one file in one place, editable by two people at the same time, with every earlier version recoverable for months (SharePoint and OneDrive). Most of the work is not technical - it is deciding, once, where things are going to live. We agree that structure with your team in Khanna before a single file gets uploaded.
🎯 Good Reasons to Move Off Your Current Setup in and around Khanna
A field engineer leaves a laptop in an auto and by evening your entire quotation history is in a stranger's hands. Company laptops and phones enrolled properly can be wiped from a browser, and on a staff member's personal phone only the company half goes while photos and personal chats stay untouched (Intune). Setting this up takes an afternoon and is worth nothing at all if you start it after the phone is gone. We enrol devices during the rollout so the answer already exists on the day you need it.
Headcount in a lot of Indian businesses is not a flat line - a factory office near Khanna takes on extra hands before a shipping season and lets them go afterwards. Licences bought through us move with that instead of being locked in for twelve months regardless. Seasonal staff can sit on a cheap web-only plan while accounts keeps the full installed apps on two machines each. Paying per person for what that person actually does is the whole idea.
Stopping Forged Invoices Sent in an Export House's Name
A design agency was working entirely out of a WhatsApp group, where the same brochure existed as five files with names ending in final, final2 and use-this-one. We built a small set of client folders in a shared drive, moved the live work into it, and showed the team how two people can edit one file at the same time and still get both sets of changes. Old versions stay recoverable, so an accidental overwrite is a two-minute problem now. Their client calls stopped opening with somebody asking which file is the latest.
🛡️ HONEST SCOPE AND WHAT WE CHARGE FOR
Buying Licences Locally, Billed in Rupees
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 Khanna, fixing Outlook profiles and phones one person at a time.

💡 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.

📋 Complete List of What We Supply for offices in Khanna
These are the pieces we can supply, install and keep running for you:
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.
🔹 MEETINGS
Video calls for up to 300 people, recordings, and outside guests who can join without any Microsoft account of their own.
🔹 FILE STORAGE
1TB of personal cloud space each, team libraries alongside it, and old versions kept so an accidental overwrite is not fatal.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium - Standard Plus Security and Device Control
For firms holding client money, patient records or drawings, where one stolen laptop is a real problem. Everything in Standard, with device control and tougher sign-in rules layered on.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
CA firms, clinics, exporters, and any office where staff carry customer data around on a laptop.
🔹 BILLING
Per user per month. Plenty of clients keep general staff on Standard and lift only directors, accounts and IT up to Premium.
🔹 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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.
🔹 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).
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.
🔹 HOW LONG IT TAKES
Down to data size and upload speed - a few hundred GB on an ordinary office line runs over several nights.
🔹 FOLDER STRUCTURE
Separate libraries for Accounts, HR, Sales, Projects and Management instead of one enormous Shared folder everybody tips things into.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
No installed desktop apps, no attachment sandboxing and no management of Windows laptops - though the free mobile controls here will still remove company data from an enrolled phone, or reset it entirely (Basic Mobility and Security).
🔹 PHONE FIRST
Staff with no company laptop still get their mail, the staff directory and Teams on a personal Android handset.
🔹 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).
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 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).
🔹 RULES YOU CAN SET
Screen lock and PIN compulsory, copying out of work apps blocked, and company mail refused on a rooted or jailbroken phone.
🔹 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.
🔹 LICENCE CHECKS
Each install phones home periodically, so a laptop kept offline for weeks will ask its user to sign in again.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 JOINERS AND LEAVERS
New staff get a mailbox, the right licence and the right folder access on day one; leavers are cut off within the hour and their mailbox converted rather than binned.
🔹 MAIL DELIVERY WATCH
We read the reports that say whether your invoices are reaching customers or quietly sitting in their junk folder, and fix the area records when they slip (DMARC reporting).
🔹 FIRST MONTH
We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.

🛠️ Mailbox Plan: Who Needs a Licence and Who Needs a Shared Address
These are the habits we apply to every tenant we build, whether the company has eight users or two hundred and eight.
🔧 Installation & Setup - How It Works in Khanna
🔹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.
🔹Keep the old system live and delivering alongside the new one for the first few days, then leave it readable but switched off for a fortnight before anybody deletes a thing.
🔎 Licence Tiers and What Each One Covers for businesses in Kolkata
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.
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 Khanna get the same running order at eight seats as at two hundred.

Does Microsoft Keep a Deleted Mailbox Forever? No, It Does Not
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.
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.

EVERYDAY WINS AT A GLANCE
WHAT NEEDS SETTING UP FIRST SET OUT PLAINLY
✓A new laptop can be handed over still in its box and set itself up on first switch-on (Windows Autopilot).
—Changing MX and DNS records needs login access to the area registrar, often held by a web designer nobody has spoken to in years.
✓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).
—Licences are a recurring cost per person, monthly or yearly - stop paying and the mailbox stops working.
✓Everything sits in one admin console that we hand over to you in writing, passwords and recovery details included.
—Staff need a short walkthrough, or they will carry on sending files over WhatsApp and never open Teams at all.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—If both the admin credentials and the emergency account are lost, getting control back from Microsoft is slow and painful.
✓Company email on every phone and laptop, 50 GB per person, with Microsoft's own uptime commitment behind it (Exchange Online).
—Outlook 2013 and older will not connect, so a few desktops need the newer version installed before the move.
💡 Engineering Fact: During a mail move the internet learns your new destination only as fast as your DNS allows. Lower the time-to-live value a day early and the switch takes minutes instead of dragging on all night (MX record TTL).

💬 Honest Pros and Cons From the Bench in and around Khanna
Do not lift an old file server into the cloud as it stands. Fifteen years of nested folders will have paths too long to survive the move, filenames with symbols the cloud refuses, and permissions inherited from people who left in 2014. I map the structure first, agree with the department heads what actually needs to come over, and rebuild it in a shape somebody could explain in a sentence. What gets copied afterwards is smaller, tidier and far less likely to break the sync client.
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.
A one-time buy of Office still exists and for a single machine that never changes it is cheaper over five years. It gives you no email, no shared drive, no phone or tablet rights, and no way to move the licence when the machine dies. The subscription is not better software so much as a different arrangement - installation on several devices per person, and mail, files and security in the same bill.
💡 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
Old mail, contacts and calendars are copied across in the background over the following days while the existing system keeps running and staff notice nothing.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Deleting a resigned employee's mailbox on their last day looks tidy until a customer replies to a two-year-old thread and nobody can find the history.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Warn whoever manages your internet line that a bulk mail copy will eat bandwidth for a few days, and run the heavy batches overnight if the office in Khanna shares one connection.

Files move around the office on WhatsApp and pen drives, and nobody is certain which copy is the latest one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can we finally switch off the old file server sitting in the corner?
In most offices yes, though seldom on day one. We map the existing shared folders onto SharePoint and OneDrive, keep the department structure people already recognise, and set permissions so accounts cannot browse HR folders and the other way round. Files that a program holds open, such as a Tally data folder, a design library or a database, are usually better left on a local server or a NAS, because live database files and cloud sync do not get along. You gain access from home or a customer site without fiddling with a VPN, but you still need a backup, because the cloud copy is not one.
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.
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. 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. 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.
💡 Engineering Fact: The quietest sign of a broken-into mailbox is a rule the user never wrote - supplier mail sliding into an obscure folder, or a copy going out to an address nobody recognises. Checking for stray forwarding rules takes five minutes and finds real trouble.
