The question that catches most offices out is not a technical one at all. An auditor asks to see your last successful restore, and the room goes quiet. Backups running is not the same thing as backups working - I have opened jobs that had been failing silently since the Diwali shutdown. So we run a restore test every quarter in front of you, and that month's report carries the date, the file we opened and whether it opened at all: evidence rather than assurance, which is what an office in Kolkata needs in its file.
🏢 Supply and Aftercare for Business Buyers in and around Santiniketan
Your internet drops twice a week, the provider insists the line is clean, and nobody in the building can prove otherwise. That argument costs more working hours than the fault itself. On an annual contract we deal with the broadband company, the printer vendor and the software desk on your behalf, with every call logged and chased. Offices around Santiniketan use us as the single point of contact so their own staff can get back to work.
A computer takes four minutes to boot, everybody complains about it, and nobody has time to look. Annoyances like that quietly eat an hour a day across a sixty-person floor. Preventive visits catch them on a schedule - disk health, updates, temperatures, cabling - before anyone bothers to raise a ticket. The scheduled part is the whole difference between a contract and a phone number for a technician.
🎯 Good Reasons to Move Off Your Current Setup in and around Santiniketan
Month-end and GST filing weeks are exactly when a small fault becomes an expensive one. We plan preventive visits away from those dates, keep a spare desktop and a spare switch ready, and treat anything touching the accounts server as priority. Tell us your billing cycle and the schedule is built around it.
A full-time IT hire costs a salary every month and knows exactly one setup. A contract gives you first-line helpdesk for the everyday noise plus a senior specialist for the server, firewall and backup work that comes up four times a year. For most companies between 15 and 250 seats that mix is honestly better value. If your size means hiring is the smarter call, we will say so.
Clinics, Diagnostic Chains and Multi-Branch Healthcare Support near Santiniketan
A small engineering unit on the outskirts of Kolkata ran its design machines and its accounts over the same overloaded network, with a switch sitting on a dusty shelf above the shop floor. We moved the network gear into a closed cupboard, separated office traffic from shop-floor traffic, and put the lot on a UPS that could actually carry the load. Power cuts stopped corrupting drawings halfway through a save. The owner still says the best part is that everything simply comes back on afterwards.
🛡️ ON-SITE ENGINEERING PRACTICE AND SITE DISCIPLINE
Your Passwords, Your Diagrams, Your Property
At the end of every month you get a short report: calls received, time taken, what failed, what is ageing. It also carries the things we think you should spend on next year, and the things you can safely leave alone. We would rather tell you a disk is dying than sell you a whole new server.
Here is the work that sits inside a standard contract:
▪Windows Server and office login system administration
▪Cat6 and fibre cabling repairs, testing and re-termination
▪Managed switch and network segment configuration (VLAN)
▪Firewall rule reviews, renewals and firmware updates
*Please note: We work as an independent service provider. Support shown here does not replace or extend the equipment maker's own warranty or support desk.*
💡 Engineering Fact: The machine that lets an attacker in is almost never the server. It is the one desktop in the corner where somebody clicked 'remind me later' on updates for eleven months. Attacks overwhelmingly use flaws that were published and fixed long ago.

📋 Ranges Sorted by Office Size for offices in Santiniketan
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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
An office of roughly ten to twenty-five people running Tally, email and shared folders, with no IT person on the payroll.
🔹 WHAT COSTS EXTRA
New hardware, licences, fresh cabling and lab-level data recovery. Labour on a covered device is never billed twice.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 VISITS INCLUDED
Two planned visits a month - one inside the server room, one out on the floor where the users actually sit.
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.
🔹 ENGINEER ON SITE
Option of an engineer stationed in your building through working hours, with a senior specialist behind him for the problems that need one.
🔹 RESTORE DRILLS
Once a quarter we rebuild a server from backup onto spare hardware and time it. A backup nobody has ever restored is a hope, not a plan.
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.
🔹 BACKUP CHECKS
Every job reviewed weekly and one restore actually tested each month. Silent failure is the usual reason a backup turns out to be empty.
🔹 WHAT'S COVERED
Joiners and leavers, mailbox permissions, two-step login, spam and impersonation filtering, and cloud backup of both mail and files.
🔹 HOW IT RUNS
Remotely, start to finish. Nothing physical, no visits, no travel time on your bill.
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.
🔹 MONITORING
A small piece of software on each machine warns us about disk errors, missing updates and a backup that has stopped, usually before the user notices anything.
🔹 REPORTING
A short monthly note on what was raised, who raised it most, and which repeat fault deserves a real fix instead of another patch.
🔹 WHAT COSTS EXTRA
Site visits, cabling, hardware, licences, and rescuing a machine that will not switch on at all.
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.
🔹 WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF
Your person gets a direct line to our senior engineer, plus rights to do the routine jobs himself rather than sitting in a queue.
🔹 BACKUP OWNERSHIP
Backups become our responsibility in writing, with a restore test every quarter recorded in the report you receive, so there is never an argument about whose job it was.
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.
🔹 STANDARD BUILD
Every counter machine is built from the same image, so a replacement PC is billing customers within the hour instead of at the end of the day.
🔹 WHAT'S COVERED
Counter PCs, barcode printers and scanners, the branch router and Wi-Fi, and the link that carries sales data back to head office.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Multi-branch businesses - retail counters, clinics, dealer showrooms, small finance branches - with a handful of machines each and a head office that wants one point of contact.
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 COSTS EXTRA
Repairs, replacements, and any project that comes out of the findings once you decide to act on them.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Companies where the person who set it all up has left, or where an auditor, insurer or new client has asked questions nobody inside can answer.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
A report in plain language, a network diagram, an asset register with warranty dates, and a sealed password handover.
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.
🔹 JOINERS AND LEAVERS
A new recruit gets a configured laptop and accounts before day one. A leaver's access is cut the same day and the machine wiped and reissued.
🔹 LOST OR STOLEN
A missing laptop can be locked and wiped from here and its data restored onto the replacement, turning a theft into a hardware loss rather than a data leak.
🔹 HOW SUPPORT REACHES THEM
Staff call us wherever they are and we take control of the laptop over the internet. Nobody has to carry a machine across town.

⏱️ What Happens When Everyone Logs In at Once in and around Santiniketan
How quickly a call is picked up, logged and put in front of an engineer.
EVERYDAY WINS AT A GLANCE
WHAT NEEDS SETTING UP FIRST SET OUT PLAINLY
✓One number to call when anything stops working, and a helpdesk that logs your complaint and tells you who is handling it.
—Operating systems the maker no longer supports carry a risk we can reduce but not remove.
✓The monthly report is written for the owner rather than for an engineer: three minutes to read, ending with the one machine we would replace this year and the two that can wait.
—Remote support needs a working internet line at your end. If the broadband itself is dead, somebody has to travel.
✓You stop losing the afternoon a user spends clicking 'remind me later' and then restarting mid-invoice - updates go out centrally, after hours, on our schedule (patch management).
—Two-hour attendance applies only to the tier you actually sign. A basic contract promises the next working day, and we will not pretend otherwise.
✓Staff working from home or from a branch get the same helpdesk over remote screen sharing, on the same contract.
—Anything outside routine upkeep, such as a new office network, a server migration or a fresh cabling run, is quoted separately.
✓An asset register of every machine, its age, its warranty date and who uses it, updated at each visit.
—Preventive visits need site access. If the server room key is with someone on leave, the visit gets rescheduled.
💡 Engineering Fact: Printers are the quietest hole in an office network. Most still carry the factory password, many keep scanned images on an internal drive, and plenty go back to the leasing company at end of term with that drive still inside.

🛠️ Workflow Setup
Monitoring agents go on to every server and computer, so disk health, updates and failures are visible to us without waiting for somebody to phone.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Never let one person hold every password. When that person is on leave, unwell or unhappy, the whole business waits for him.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Budget for a proper UPS on the server and the network switch, not a cheap unit shared with a water cooler. Batteries are load-tested on visits and you get told when one is finished.
📈 Upgrade Triggers
A member of staff has left and you are still not certain which passwords walked out with them.
🔎 Key Figures Every Buyer Should Check for businesses in Kolkata
Exit terms deserve as much attention as entry terms. Your asset register, network diagram, password file and licence records belong to you throughout, are updated at each visit, and are handed over on request whether or not the contract continues. Notice periods are short and nobody is charged for taking away their own documentation. Offices around Santiniketan that were once locked in by a previous vendor tend to raise this question first.
What an AMC actually covers is worth pinning down before anyone talks about price. Ours is built for established offices running roughly 15 to 250 computers, with a server or two, a firewall, some printers and one internet line that everything leans on. Microtech Solutions assigns a named engineer, a first-line helpdesk, and a senior specialist who is pulled in for server, network and security work. Sites in Santiniketan get the same structure at twenty seats or two hundred.

Quality Control on Engineer Work, and What We Check
Microtech Solutions is a systems integration and IT maintenance business. We keep offices running - the servers, the network, the machines on desks and the vendor contracts around them - on a yearly agreement rather than a call-out basis.
Our engineers are grouped by depth rather than by title. A first-line team absorbs the day's helpdesk load, while a smaller senior group handles servers, networks, mail and security: the work that is worth doing slowly and correctly.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK
Coordinate custom hardware configurations, AMC maintenance contracts, and site engineering visits directly with authorized integration desks.
🛠️ Power, UPS Load and Ventilation Checks on Every Visit
Half the faults we attend in small offices begin as something physical - a loose cable, a tired battery, a fan choked with dust - so the routine below is deliberately boring.
🔧 Network Setup & Cabling - How It Works in Santiniketan
🔹Tag every machine with a sticker and a number in the first fortnight, then match those numbers to the asset register - a register nobody can map to real hardware is just a spreadsheet.
🔹Write down the account number, plan, renewal date and support number for each internet line and stick a copy inside the cupboard door; a leased line in Kolkata can take days to restore if nobody knows the account details.
🔹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.
💬 Honest Pros and Cons From the Bench in and around Santiniketan
A server cupboard tells me more than the customer does. Dust caked on the fans, a cable tie biting into a lead, a switch on a shelf beside somebody's water bottle - I can predict the next three months of faults from a two-minute look. Photograph yours and send it to whoever supports you.
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 if the problem is with our internet provider, not our computers?
We still take the call, prove where the fault actually sits, and chase the provider on your behalf. Our engineer checks the router, the line status and the signal from your side, so the complaint we log carries real readings instead of "it feels slow". What we cannot do is repair their fibre or hold them to a deadline; that wait belongs to them. Where an hour of downtime genuinely hurts, the honest answer is a second connection that takes over automatically - that is a small project, quoted separately, not an AMC line item.
Q. What do we actually receive in writing every month?
A short report the owner can read in five minutes, not forty pages of charts. It lists every ticket raised and how long each took, which machines are filling up or are too old to keep patching, whether backups finished each night, and what we suggest budgeting for next quarter. Misses appear in the same report - if we broke a response promise, it is written there rather than quietly dropped. Ask for a sample before you sign; we would rather you checked.
Q. Do you look after our backups, and do you check that they really restore?
We watch them every night and we test restores, because a backup nobody has ever restored is only a hope. The pattern is one copy kept on site for quick recovery and one copy off site that ransomware cannot reach, with accounting data taken more often than everything else. Each quarter we pick a real file and a whole machine, bring them back in a test setup, and record the result in your monthly report. The cloud storage subscription itself is billed separately from the maintenance contract.
Q. We only have twelve computers. Is a contract even worth it for us?
Sometimes, and sometimes not - we will tell you which. Twelve standalone machines with no server and no shared data can be handled perfectly well on a call-out basis, and selling you a retainer for that would be dishonest. The moment you have shared accounting data, company email, a firewall or customer records you cannot afford to lose, the arithmetic flips: one ruined month-end costs more than a year of cover. Small-office contracts for firms around Santiniketan do exist, with fewer visits and a lighter scope.
Q. How is an AMC priced - per computer or a flat yearly amount?
Both models are used, and which one suits you depends on how much of your setup sits in servers rather than desktops. A small office with mostly desktops and one shared machine is usually counted per seat and billed quarterly. Companies running several servers, a firewall, a login area or more than one branch are quoted as a flat annual retainer, because the work lives in the infrastructure and not in the headcount. We quote only after walking through your office in Santiniketan - a blind figure over the phone helps neither side.
💡 Engineering Fact: Month-end and filing week feel like the season when hardware fails. It is not. The machines are simply pushed harder in those days, and the fault that was tolerable on the 12th stops the accounts team dead on the 20th.
