Ask any accountant when the systems must not fail, and you will hear the last week of the month. GST returns, salary runs and e-way bills all land in the same few days, so a Tally server that hangs on the 18th costs many times what the same fault costs on the 5th. We schedule preventive visits ahead of those weeks rather than after them, and between visits our software watches disk space, failed backups and pending updates from our side (remote monitoring). For an office near Matigara, the month-end panic usually just stops happening.
📞 Supply and Aftercare for Business Buyers close to Matigara
When an employee resigns on a Friday, does anyone close his mail, his remote access and his laptop login by Monday? In companies without an IT department the honest answer is no, and the account stays alive for months. Our contract treats joiners and leavers as a standard task with a short checklist signed off both ways. Companies in Kolkata facing bank or ISO audits find that list is the first thing an auditor asks to see.
Every year brings the same conversation: the server is out of warranty, the UPS batteries are tired, and nobody knows what to replace first. A contract hands you an asset register with age, warranty status and a replacement plan you can budget against. We flag what is due this year and what can safely wait another one. No panic buy at eight in the evening because a disk finally gave up.
👍 Why Owners Stop Worrying About This close to Matigara
The monthly report is the part buyers rarely think to ask for. Ours lists every call logged, how long each took, what was replaced, which backups restored cleanly, and what we suggest budgeting for next quarter. Owners in Matigara who never wanted to learn IT can read one page and know where they stand. Take it to your auditor and half the questions are answered before they are asked.
We do not run a call centre. Whoever picks up has walked your office, seen your cupboard, and knows the accounting server is the one on the left. That sounds like a small thing until the morning something is down and you do not have to describe your building to a stranger. Keeping the same engineer on the same site is a deliberate part of how we staff contracts.
Schools and Colleges: Computer Labs, Staff Rooms and the Admin Office
A logistics office handling e-way bills and dispatch paperwork could not afford the network to be down between six and ten at night, which was precisely when its ageing router chose to hang. We replaced it, added a second internet line that takes over on its own, and put the dispatch desk on a documented priority. Somebody on our side stays reachable through their evening shift. Dispatch has not stopped for a network reason since.
🛡️ WHO ANSWERS, WHO ATTENDS, WHO SIGNS OFF
When We Get It Wrong, Here Is What We Do
Our engineers spend their weeks inside real offices in Kolkata: trading floors thick with dust, clinics running old billing machines, factories on generator power half the day. That is where the judgement comes from, not from a brochure. When we say a setup will not survive another summer, it is because we have watched the same one fail.
Day-to-day jobs handled under the yearly fee:
▪Firewall rule reviews, renewals and firmware updates
▪Someone to manage your email accounts, joiners and leavers
▪Windows Server and office login system administration
▪Yearly IT maintenance contracts for offices and factories
*Notice: Hardware replacement, licence and subscription costs are billed separately from the maintenance fee stated in your contract.*
💡 Engineering Fact: When one disk in a RAID set dies, rebuilding forces every surviving disk to read itself end to end for hours - which is exactly when a second tired disk fails. Buying all the drives together, from one batch, makes that far more likely.
💾 BACKUP AND RESTORE CHECK
When did anybody last restore a file, instead of glancing at a backup screen? We will test one at your office in Matigara and show you exactly what came back.
🗂️ Available Options and Typical Fit for first-time buyers
Go through the cover levels and pick the response time that suits your work:
Small Office IT AMC (10 to 25 Computers)
For a company of twenty-odd staff with one server and nobody whose actual job is IT. You get a number that gets answered, an engineer who turns up, and scheduled checks so fewer things break in the first place.
🔹 ESCALATION
If the first engineer cannot close a fault in two hours it moves up to a senior engineer on its own. Chasing us should not be your job.
🔹 VISITS INCLUDED
One planned health-check visit a month covering updates, disk space, antivirus, backup logs and the tangle behind the desks.
🔹 REPORTING
A one-page monthly summary - what was raised, what failed, what we replaced, and what we think will fail next.
Mid-Size Company IT AMC (25 to 75 Computers)
Built for a growing firm that now has a server room, a firewall and staff who cannot sit idle for a day. Faster attendance, tighter checks, and one engineer who already knows how your office is wired.
🔹 REPORTING
A monthly report with the ticket list, the result of the quarter's restore test when one falls due, and a short note on what to budget for next quarter.
🔹 WHAT COSTS EXTRA
Hardware and licences at cost, plus project work such as an office shift or a migration - always quoted first, never slipped into an invoice.
🔹 NAMED ENGINEER
The same engineer visits every month, so nobody re-learns your network on your time. A second engineer is kept briefed for leave weeks.
Large Site and Multi-Floor IT AMC (75 Computers and Above)
For head offices, plants and campuses where an hour of downtime is measurable money. Deeper cover, an engineer available inside your building, and drills instead of assumptions.
🔹 SPARES ON STANDBY
An agreed spare switch, spare disks and a loaner desktop kept ready, so a dead part becomes an inconvenience rather than a shutdown.
🔹 RESPONSE TIME
When a whole department is down, remote work starts within the hour and an engineer is on site inside two, with a stand-in named in advance so festival weeks and leave are not your problem.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Seventy-five machines and upwards, often spread over floors or buildings, where billing or production halts the moment the network does.
Cloud, Email Security and Backup Retainer (Remote)
For companies whose work has already moved to Microsoft 365 and cloud backup and who want one accountable owner for it. Runs entirely remotely, with no site visits built in.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Businesses already on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace who need somebody to own accounts, mail security and backups rather than share the job around.
🔹 HOW IT RUNS
Remotely, start to finish. Nothing physical, no visits, no travel time on your bill.
🔹 RESPONSE TIME
Locked accounts and suspected fraud mail are picked up the same hour. Ordinary requests are handled within the working day.
Remote Helpdesk Plan - Phone, Chat and Remote Fix
A light contract for small teams of five to twenty people whose trouble is nearly always software, email or a printer, and can be settled over a remote session. Site visits are billed only when one is genuinely needed.
🔹 RESPONSE TIME
A remote session usually opens within half an hour during working hours, which is faster than any engineer can reach a gate.
🔹 VISITS INCLUDED
None, deliberately - that is what keeps this plan light. An engineer can still be sent at the call-out rate written into the contract.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Small offices, professional practices and young teams under twenty staff, where the faults are software far more often than hardware.
Server and Network Only AMC (You Keep Your Own Desktop Person)
For companies that already employ someone who handles user complaints well, but have nobody who can be trusted with the server, the firewall or the backup. We take the infrastructure and your person keeps the desks.
🔹 WHAT COSTS EXTRA
Replacement hardware, licences, and any additional premises brought under the same contract part-way through the year.
🔹 VISITS INCLUDED
A monthly server-room visit - battery load, temperature, dust, cable dressing, labelling, and the maintenance log nobody reads until an audit asks.
🔹 WHAT'S NOT
Individual desktops, laptops and printers stay with your own staff member. That boundary is exactly what keeps this contract lean.
Branch and Retail Network IT Support, Priced Per Site
For showrooms, clinics, dealerships and branch offices spread across Kolkata and the towns around it, where each site has a few machines, a billing counter and no technical staff at all.
🔹 WHAT COSTS EXTRA
Travel to branches outside the agreed list, setting up a brand-new site, and hardware of any kind.
🔹 HOW IT'S ORGANISED
Each site is listed on its own, with its own machine list, so opening or closing a branch is a line item rather than a fresh negotiation.
🔹 AFTER HOURS
Cover runs through shop hours including weekends. A showroom's busiest day is Sunday, and that is precisely when an ordinary support line stops answering.
One-Time IT Audit and Documentation Project
A fixed-scope exercise for a company that has inherited a mess and cannot say what it owns, who holds the passwords or whether the backup works. It ends with a written report; many buyers then turn it into an annual contract.
🔹 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Most companies change the report into an annual contract. If you do, the documentation already exists and becomes the baseline for it.
🔹 WHAT WE DON'T DO
We do not quietly fix things while auditing. Each recommendation is quoted separately, which is the only way the report stays honest.
🔹 HOW LONG
A few working days on site for a single office, longer where there are branches. The number of days is agreed before anybody arrives.
Work-From-Home and Hybrid Team IT Support
For companies whose staff work partly from home or from a client's premises, on laptops the office rarely sees. Support follows the person instead of the desk.
🔹 BACKUP
Laptop data is backed up whenever the machine is online, not just when it visits the office - which is how home-worker files usually disappear.
🔹 WHAT'S COVERED
Company laptops, home broadband troubleshooting, remote access into the office server, Microsoft 365 accounts, and the video-call setup that never quite works.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Agencies, consultancies, sales teams and back-office units whose people are scattered across homes and client sites, with a smaller office than they once needed.

📃 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide around Matigara
Hardware cover runs from the desk right through to the cupboard. Desktops, laptops, printers and scanners are handled at the preventive visit and on call; servers, switches, the firewall and the UPS are inspected on a fixed schedule with readings written down. Where a part has genuinely failed we quote it separately - labour is inside the contract, spares are not, and we say that before you sign. That one distinction prevents most of the arguments people have had with a previous vendor.
Account and software work is the half that keeps a working day moving. User accounts, mail, shared folders and permissions, Windows updates, antivirus, the accounting software client, and your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant if you have one. Joiners and leavers sit here too, which is where small companies most often lose track of who can reach what. Everything done is logged, so the monthly report is a record rather than a summary written from memory.

Quality Control on Engineer Work, and What We Check
We work across the mix of equipment an Indian office actually has: Dell, HP and Lenovo desktops and servers, a firewall from Sophos or SonicWall, a Synology or similar box for storage, Microsoft or Google for mail. No single-vendor loyalty, and no pretending a working machine must be replaced before we will support it.
Preventive work is the part we are strict about. Scheduled visits happen whether or not anything is broken, because that is the only real difference between a maintenance contract and having a technician's phone number.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK
Coordinate custom hardware configurations, AMC maintenance contracts, and site engineering visits directly with authorized integration desks.
If your site has never had a proper tidy-up, the first two visits will look different from the rest: expect labelling, photographs and a written list of what needs replacing.
⚙️ Go-Live Day - How It Works in Matigara
🔹Agree the escalation path in writing on day one - who may call the helpdesk, who can approve a chargeable spare, and whose phone rings at nine at night if the server is down.
🔹Start with a site survey before the contract goes live: walk every floor of the office in Matigara, open the server cupboard, and photograph the rack exactly as you found it.
🔹Within the first thirty days, run one full restore from the existing backup whatever the previous vendor claimed. That single test tells you more about a site than any document will.

🔍 What Happens When Everyone Logs In at Once close to Matigara
How quickly a call is picked up, logged and put in front of an engineer.
EVERYDAY WINS - THE SHORT VERSION
WHAT NEEDS SETTING UP FIRST WITHOUT THE SALES PITCH
✓Health checks land on a fixed calendar in the quiet part of the month, because the same fault found on the 6th costs a fraction of what it costs on the 28th (preventive maintenance).
—Restoring a large data set takes hours, not minutes. How long depends on the volume of data and the speed of your disks and internet line.
✓Help during audits: we produce backup logs, access lists and update records when your auditor asks for them.
—Preventive visits need site access. If the server room key is with someone on leave, the visit gets rescheduled.
✓One number to call when anything stops working, and a helpdesk that logs your complaint and tells you who is handling it.
—Cover applies to the equipment listed in the annexure. Machines bought mid-year need to be added, not assumed.
✓The contract shapes to your office, whether that means labour-only or parts-included, weekday or extended hours, one site or several branches.
—Sites well outside our regular service run in Kolkata may carry a travel component, agreed in advance.
✓Cable dressing, port labelling and rack tidying during visits, so the next fault takes minutes to trace instead of hours.
—After-hours attendance outside contracted hours is billable, and we confirm the charge before starting.
💡 Engineering Fact: Power in most Indian industrial areas does not simply cut - it sags and spikes all day. A basic UPS only wakes up when the supply is fully gone, while a double-conversion unit rebuilds the supply continuously, which is why the server survives what makes the tube lights flicker.

🛠️ Workflow Setup
The escalation path is agreed in writing: who may call, which number, what counts as urgent, and who steps in when the first engineer is stuck.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Do not ignore a computer that has started restarting by itself. It is a warning, and warnings are far cheaper than data recovery.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Write the asset list into the contract as an annexure that actually gets updated. Machines bought mid-year should join the cover formally, not by verbal understanding.

Two branches have opened in other parts of Kolkata and files now travel by WhatsApp because nothing central exists.
🧠 Honest Pros and Cons From the Bench throughout Kolkata
Do not let one internet line carry a business that cannot afford to stop. A second connection from a different provider, set to take over automatically, costs less than a single afternoon of a sales team sitting idle. I recommend it to almost every logistics office, clinic and dealership I survey in Kolkata.
OEM warranty replaces a failed part in one machine, which is worth having, and we file those claims on your behalf. It will not explain why the network drops at four o'clock, restore last week's data, or send anybody to look. Warranty and AMC solve different problems; most offices want both.
Your software vendor supports their own product well and nothing underneath it. When the accounting package crawls because a server disk is full or a switch is failing, that call goes round in circles for a day. Somebody has to own the layer the application is standing on.
💡 Engineering Fact: Almost every complaint that 'the internet is slow after lunch' turns out to be the same thing: a backup or a batch of Windows updates set to run in office hours, fighting the whole staff for one broadband line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What exactly does an AMC cover, and what will you bill me extra for?
Labour is covered; parts and licences usually are not, unless you take the version of the contract that includes them. A standard agreement covers unlimited helpdesk calls, remote fixes, scheduled preventive visits, emergency site visits, and the routine upkeep of your server, network and desktops. The chargeable side is normally hardware replacement, new software licences, cabling for a new floor, and project work such as an office shift. Every contract Microtech Solutions writes puts the covered list and the chargeable list side by side, so nobody argues about it eight months later.
Q. Our auditor wants to know who has administrator access. Can you help with that?
Yes, and audit questions are one of the commonest reasons a company calls us in the first place. We produce a list of accounts, what each one can reach, which are shared between people, and which still belong to staff who left months ago. Tidying that up - disabling dormant logins, separating everyday accounts from administrator ones, switching on a second sign-in step - is ordinary contract work. We do not sign audit certificates or claim any certification on your behalf; we supply the evidence and your auditor draws the conclusion.
Q. You install software that watches every machine. What can it actually see?
It reports the health of the machine, not the behaviour of the person using it. The agent sends us disk errors, running temperature, free space, failed updates, antivirus status and crashed services - the sort of warning that appears days before a hard disk finally gives up. It does not read documents, record what you type or watch screens, and a remote session needs someone at your end to accept it. On servers, this is what lets an engineer catch a dying drive at three in the morning instead of during GST filing week.
Q. How long is the contract, and how easily can we get out of it?
Twelve months is the usual term, with a notice period that works both ways. There is no multi-year lock-in and nothing is loaded into the back end to make leaving painful. If you are unsure, begin with a shorter trial scope - helpdesk plus preventive visits - and widen it once you have seen how we respond at 6pm on a bad day. Renewal is a conversation each year, not an automatic charge.
Q. Do you replace a failed hard disk free of charge?
Only on the contract type that includes parts - on a labour-only contract the disk is billed and the fitting is not. If the drive is still inside its manufacturer warranty we run the replacement claim for you either way and the part costs you nothing. Common spares such as disks, power supplies, memory and a standby switch sit ready on our spares shelf, so a failure does not turn into a week of waiting. Recovering data from a physically dead drive is lab work, sent out, and always chargeable.
💡 Engineering Fact: Ransomware prefers Friday evenings and long weekends. The timing is deliberate: it wants the encryption finished and the backups reached before anyone walks back into the office.
