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 Mandirtala 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.
📍 From Quotation to Go-Live with Microsoft 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
Before anything moves, we list every mailbox, alias, distribution list and device that touches mail in your office in Mandirtala. That audit is dull work, and it is exactly where the surprises get caught: the forgotten sales address, the scanner that mails PDFs, the director's phone nobody ever set up. Only once that list is agreed do we put a date on the wall.
Chargeable services available on site and remotely across Kolkata:
▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp
▪Licence Supply, Renewals and GST Invoicing in Rupees
▪Company Phone and Laptop Controls with Intune
▪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: 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.
📋 LICENCE COUNT REVIEW
Not sure what you are paying for? Send us your current licence list and we will tell you plainly which people in Mandirtala are on the wrong plan and which seats can go entirely.
Compare what staff get on each licence, from web-only apps through to installed Office and device controls:
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.
🔹 BILLING
Per person per month on a monthly or yearly commitment, invoiced in rupees with GST by Microtech Solutions instead of a foreign card charge.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
Email on your own area, the shared cloud drive, Teams chat and meetings, and Office installed on the machine rather than only in a browser tab.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium - Standard Plus Security and Device Control
For firms holding client money, patient records or drawings, where one stolen laptop is a real problem. Everything in Standard, with device control and tougher sign-in rules layered on.
🔹 SECURITY
Attachments are opened in a sealed test area and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks, so a fake invoice PDF does not get its first click (Defender for Business).
🔹 SETUP TIME
Licences apply instantly, but we roll the security policies out over a week or two in groups so nobody arrives on Monday locked out.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
CA firms, clinics, exporters, and any office where staff carry customer data around on a laptop.
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 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).
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.
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.
🔹 NOTHING LEFT BEHIND
File dates, folder paths and version history come across, and a comparison report at the end lets you see the counts line up.
🔹 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.
🔹 PERMISSIONS
Salary and tender folders lock down to named people, and sharing outside the company can be switched off or limited to approved domains.
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.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
A 50GB mailbox on the company area, Teams chat and meetings, 1TB of cloud space, and the browser versions of Word and Excel.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Call quality is an internet question, not a Microsoft one. We test the office link and the backup line around Mandirtala before anyone signs anything.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 AUDIT PAPERWORK
Clean records of exactly who is licensed, which is the question that surfaces when a bank, an auditor or a large customer reviews your systems.
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with no in-house IT person, and firms whose IT person should not be spending Monday morning resetting passwords.
🔹 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.

📊 Feature List and Technical Detail for offices in Mandirtala
Device and login work is what separates Premium from the cheaper plans. Company laptops and handsets are enrolled so they can be wiped remotely, personal phones are set up so only the company data is under our control, and disk encryption and update schedules are applied without anyone having to click through them. The phone prompt at login goes on in stages, with an emergency administrator account kept outside the policy. Old sign-in methods that attackers still target are switched off once we have confirmed nothing legitimate depends on them.
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.

Three Responsibilities: Microsoft's, Yours and Ours
Intune handles the hardware. Company laptops and phones are enrolled once and can then be wiped remotely if lost, and on a staff member's personal handset the company mail and files can be removed on their own, leaving photos and personal chats alone. Disk encryption, update schedules and standard settings get applied centrally instead of being configured machine by machine.
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.

WHAT OWNERS LIKE - THE HIGHLIGHTS
COMPROMISES TO ACCEPT - THE HONEST VERSION
✓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.
✓Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint install properly on up to five devices per person, not just in a browser.
—DMARC pushed straight to reject will bounce your own newsletters and Tally-generated invoices; it needs a watching period first.
✓One username opens everything, and switching a leaver off takes a single click (Microsoft Entra ID).
—If both the admin credentials and the emergency account are lost, getting control back from Microsoft is slow and painful.
✓An ex-employee's mailbox can be kept readable for audit purposes without paying full price for that seat.
—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).
—Scanners and accounting software that send mail need a relay connector configured, otherwise those alerts stop silently.
💡 Engineering Fact: Sending a 30MB attachment to twelve people creates thirteen copies and often bounces at the far end anyway. A link to the file in the shared drive is one copy, always the current one, and you can withdraw access later.

🛠️ Workflow Setup
Your company tenant is created and the area verified, which means adding a record at the registrar to prove the name is yours before anything else moves.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Dumping every folder from the old server into one shared library where everybody sees everything undoes in an afternoon whatever privacy the office used to have.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Export a size report from the old mail server so you know whether you are moving 20 GB or 600 GB, because that number decides how many nights the copy runs.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
The mailbox is full again, and somebody's answer is to delete old mail rather than pay for more space.
📝 Practical Findings After a Year in Service across Kolkata
Before I switch off the old sign-in methods, I walk the building. In the offices I visit around Mandirtala 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.
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.
Bolting a separate antivirus, a separate mail filter and a separate device management tool together works, and if you already own good ones there is no urgency to change. Premium puts the equivalents in one subscription with one place to look and one renewal to remember. The saving is real but the bigger gain is that a single dashboard tends to actually get checked.
💡 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).
🛠️ Setting Up the Tenant: What Gets Done, and in What Order
Read this before migration day. It is the running order our engineers work through, and the one your staff will feel the effects of.
🏢 Configuration & Testing - What We Do in and around Mandirtala
🔹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.
🔹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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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. 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.
Q. 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.
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.
💡 Engineering Fact: The invoice fraud that hits exporters and traders rarely involves any hacking. Someone registers a area one letter off yours, watches the thread, then sends your buyer fresh bank details at exactly the right moment. Area records plus a phone call to confirm account changes end it.
