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.
🏢 Buying Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Without the Guesswork in and around Kodalia
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 Kodalia before a single file gets uploaded.
🎯 Good Reasons to Move Off Your Current Setup in and around Kodalia
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 Kodalia 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 Kodalia, fixing Outlook profiles and phones one person at a time.
Pick the pieces you need - the list below is what we do:
▪Exchange Online Migration from cPanel, Zimbra or Google Workspace
▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp
▪Microsoft Defender for Business Rollout
▪Moving Old Email with Folders and Contacts Intact
*Please note: Licence prices are set by Microsoft and can change at renewal; our fees for setup and ongoing admin are quoted separately and in writing.*
💡 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.

📋 Complete List of What We Supply in and around Kodalia
Scan the options, then tell us your headcount and we will suggest a mix that avoids waste:
Microsoft 365 Business Standard - Installed Office Apps, Email and Teams
For office teams who need Word and Excel installed on the laptop, company email on every phone, and one place to keep files. This is where most small and mid-sized firms land.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Desk staff who live in Outlook and Excel all day - accounts, sales, admin and management.
🔹 MAILBOX SIZE
50GB each, which is several years of mail for most people, plus shared calendars the whole team can see.
🔹 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.
🔹 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).
🔹 EVERYTHING IN STANDARD
The same installed apps, 50GB mailboxes, cloud drive and Teams - nothing is traded away to get the security.
🔹 BILLING
Per user per month. Plenty of clients keep general staff on Standard and lift only directors, accounts and IT up to Premium.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 SETUP TIME
Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.
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.
🔹 TRAINING
A short hands-on session per department, because the migration that fails is the one where staff quietly go back to emailing attachments.
🔹 WHAT WE DO
Map the folder tree you already have, agree who should see what, then copy it up in stages across nights and weekends.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Adding Basic users to a tenant whose area is already verified is a same-hour job.
🔹 PHONE FIRST
Staff with no company laptop still get their mail, the staff directory and Teams on a personal Android handset.
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).
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 PERSONAL PHONES
On a staff member's own device only the work apps are governed - nobody at the office can see their gallery, contacts or WhatsApp (app protection policies).
🔹 HOW IT'S LICENSED
Bundled inside Business Premium, or bought on its own by firms that only want the device side (Intune Plan 1).
🔹 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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 LICENCE CHECKS
Each install phones home periodically, so a laptop kept offline for weeks will ask its user to sign in again.
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 HONESTY ABOUT BACKUP
Microsoft keeps the service running; it does not keep a copy of a folder someone deleted eight months ago. We set retention properly and add separate backup where the risk deserves it.

🔎 Licence Tiers and What Each One Covers for businesses in Kolkata
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 Kodalia 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.
🏆 CORE PARAMETER🔹 Shared office drive1TB of personal cloud space each, plus department libraries the whole team can reach
🔹 If a phone is lostWork mail and files wiped from that handset remotely, personal photos left alone
🔹 Uptime commitmentMicrosoft's 99.9% availability promise, backed by service credits
🔹 Mailbox size50GB per person on most plans, 100GB plus an expanding archive on the larger email plan
🔹 Moving old email acrossFull history, folders and contacts brought over from Google Workspace, Zimbra, Rediff, cPanel or an in-house server
🔹 Meetings and callingVideo meetings for up to 300 people; desk-phone numbers through Teams as an add-on
🔹 Two-step sign-inA prompt or code on the phone, so a password picked off a fake login page is not enough by itself
Inside Microsoft's Data Centres: Where Your Mail Actually Lives
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.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK

💬 What Our Team Sees on Site in and around Kodalia
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.
Microsoft 365 versus Google Workspace is the comparison we are asked for most, and Google is a good product - we will say so. Companies whose people live in Sheets and Docs, or who have never used desktop Office, often stay happier there. Microsoft pulls ahead when your accounts team runs heavy Excel files, when you want the installed applications rather than browser versions, or when you need device management and Office in one subscription rather than two.
Buying licences directly on a card gets you the same software at broadly the same price, so the question is what happens afterwards. You get a foreign-currency receipt, no local tax invoice, and a support process that begins with a web form. Through Microtech Solutions you get rupee billing with GST, seats you can change, and an engineer who already knows why your tenant is configured the way it is.
💡 Engineering Fact: 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).

🛠️ 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.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
Someone in accounts receives a mail that appears to come from the director, asking for an urgent transfer.

WHAT WORKS IN DAILY USE AT A GLANCE
WHO IT DOES NOT SUIT SET OUT PLAINLY
✓One username opens everything, and switching a leaver off takes a single click (Microsoft Entra ID).
—Staff need a short walkthrough, or they will carry on sending files over WhatsApp and never open Teams at all.
✓No more pen drives and no more guessing which copy is the latest - department files in one place, 1 TB of personal space each (OneDrive and SharePoint).
—Business Premium expects Windows 10 or 11 Pro; a Home edition machine will not accept the management policies.
✓Company email on every phone and laptop, 50 GB per person, with Microsoft's own uptime commitment behind it (Exchange Online).
—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.
✓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).
—Guest sharing in Teams and SharePoint starts open and has to be tightened deliberately, or documents wander off quietly.
✓Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint install properly on up to five devices per person, not just in a browser.
—Standard mailboxes stop at 50 GB and the archive is not unlimited on the lower plans; heavy users do hit the ceiling.
💡 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.

🛠️ Mailbox Plan: Who Needs a Licence and Who Needs a Shared Address
Before a single mailbox moves for an office in Kodalia, the checks below get ticked off one by one; skipping them is how mail quietly disappears.
🧰 Labelling & Documentation - Our Standards for busy workplaces
🔹Schedule the actual switch for a Friday evening or the start of a long weekend in Kodalia - 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.
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. 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.
Q. Is Microsoft 365 better than Google Workspace for us?
It depends on what your office already runs on, and Microtech Solutions moves clients in both directions. If your team lives inside Excel, with real formulas, accounting exports and GST workings, Microsoft is the more comfortable home because the desktop apps are the genuine article rather than a browser imitation. If everybody works in a browser, shares documents constantly and rarely opens a spreadsheet more than a few hundred rows long, Google does the job and changing for its own sake wastes money. We would rather tell you your current setup is fine than sell you a migration you do not need.
Q. 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. 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.
💡 Engineering Fact: A stamp that cannot be forged travels with every message you send, letting the far end confirm the mail really came from you and was not edited on the way (DKIM signing).
