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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Original Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Subscription & License Desk near Madhyamgram

Half the migrations we take on are rescue jobs. Somebody moved a company off GoDaddy or Zimbra over a weekend, calendars arrived empty, shared folders vanished, and the boss's phone stopped syncing on Monday morning. The problem is almost never Microsoft - it is skipping the dry run, so we copy every old mailbox across in the background first and check folders, contacts and calendar entries against the source before touching the mail record. For offices around Madhyamgram we make the switch on a Saturday evening, and an engineer stays on the phone with you through Monday.

✅ Onsite Installation and Staff Training for Microsoft anywhere in Kolkata

Laptop on a desk showing a Teams video call with four people joined

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.

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 Madhyamgram tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.

🧠 What Changes in the First Month with a growing team

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.

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.

Ex-Employee Mailboxes Kept for Audit at a CA Firm

A logistics startup in Kolkata had grown into three area names, one from the original brand, one for the new one and one bought for a service they no longer offer. Mail was arriving on all three from three different providers, with staff quietly forwarding things to themselves to keep up. We consolidated everything into a single tenant with one address book, kept all three domains delivering so no customer's old address broke, and authenticated each of them properly. New staff now get one address on the current brand and nobody forwards anything anywhere.

Staff get a short walkthrough - twenty minutes, no slides - covering where files now live, how to share a link instead of an attachment, and what that login prompt on the phone actually means. Skip it and people drift straight back to WhatsApp. We run the session again for anyone who missed it, and for new joiners if you keep us on a retainer.

*Reminder: Mailbox backup is a separate paid product; a Microsoft 365 subscription on its own is not a backup of your email or your files.*

💡 Engineering Fact: A strong password stops guessing. It does nothing about the employee who typed it into a convincing fake login page on Tuesday. The prompt on the phone is what makes a stolen password worthless (MFA).

🏷️ Models, Plans and What Suits Whom across Kolkata

Check the storage numbers, archive choices and sharing controls before settling on a plan:

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.

🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.

🔹 SETUP TIME

A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.

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.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

Desk-phone calling and the deep compliance tooling of the big enterprise plans; both are bought separately if you need them.

🔹 DEVICE CONTROL

Company laptops and phones are enrolled, disks are encrypted by default, and a missing device can be cleared remotely (Intune and BitLocker).

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 YOU GET

Mail, calendar, contacts and shared calendars on your own area, syncing to Outlook, phones and any browser.

🔹 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.

🔹 TRAINING

A short hands-on session per department, because the migration that fails is the one where staff quietly go back to emailing attachments.

🔹 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.

🔹 HOW LONG IT TAKES

Down to data size and upload speed - a few hundred GB on an ordinary office line runs over several nights.

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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).

🔹 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.

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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).

🔹 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).

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.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

The full installed apps on up to five computers per person, updating themselves quietly, with 1TB of personal cloud storage each.

🔹 BILLING

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

🔹 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.

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 BILLING

A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.

🛠️ Group Names, Distribution Lists and Address Book Housekeeping

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 Step by Step for growing offices

🔹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 Madhyamgram - never a Monday, and never the last three days of a month when invoicing is running.

💡 Field Testing and What It Told Us after years of site visits

The mistake I see most often is somebody switching their area policy straight to reject because a checklist told them to. Do that before you have watched the reports and your own mail starts bouncing - the accounting software that emails statements, the copier that scans to email, the marketing platform you forgot about. I run it at monitoring only for a fortnight, collect the list of everything genuinely sending in your name, fix each one, and only then tighten it. The end result is the same; the difference is nobody loses a week of invoices.

The mailboxes your web hosting company throws in with the website are cheap and they do work. What they usually do not give you is a mailbox large enough to hold years of mail, proper calendar sharing, or an address book that everyone sees. They also share a mail server with hundreds of other customers, so if one of them sends spam your quotations get caught up in the same blacklist.

An on-premise mail server gives you complete control and no monthly bill, which is a real argument. It also gives you a machine that needs power backup, an operating system to patch, a backup someone must check and a person to restart it at eleven on a Sunday night. If your internet is genuinely unreliable and your mail is entirely internal, keeping it can still make sense; for most offices the maths stopped working years ago.

💡 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.

🤝 What Is Included and What Costs Extra for multi-branch businesses

Exporters and Trading Firms	Mailboxes moved off old webmail, plus sender records so payment mails cannot be forged in your name	Two to three days, switch on a Saturday night
Agencies and Design Studios	Client folders on the shared drive, big files sent as links, guest access for clients who need it	Three days including the staff walkthrough

FEWER HEADACHES - FOR BUYERS

WHERE IT FALLS SHORT - A QUICK LIST

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

—Scanners and accounting software that send mail need a relay connector configured, otherwise those alerts stop silently.

✓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).

—Standard mailboxes stop at 50 GB and the archive is not unlimited on the lower plans; heavy users do hit the ceiling.

✓Meetings, department chat and file sharing sit in one place, which is how WhatsApp finally gets retired (Teams).

—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.

✓Ransomware and virus detection extend to the laptops themselves, not just to what arrives by mail (Defender for Business).

—Outlook 2013 and older will not connect, so a few desktops need the newer version installed before the move.

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

—A 60 GB mailbox on an ordinary office line takes days to copy, so the big accounts are started well before cutover night.

💡 Engineering Fact: A file deleted from the shared drive is not gone. It sits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten file can be rolled back to how it looked yesterday from its version history.

📋 Specifications, Explained in Plain Words for small teams

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.

Licensing Rules Microsoft Enforces That Surprise First-Time Buyers

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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. 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 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 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: 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.
