Not everybody in your company needs the same licence, and buying the top tier for all of them is the easiest way to waste money here. A supervisor who checks mail on a browser twice a day does not need what your finance head needs on a company laptop. We go through the staff list with you and mark who wants installed Office apps, who needs the security and device controls, and who genuinely only needs webmail. Businesses in Kolkata usually find the monthly total drops before the migration has even started.
🧭 From Quotation to Go-Live with Microsoft at multi-branch offices
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 Sheoraphuli tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.
Licences bought on a director's credit card arrive with a dollar receipt, no GST input and a support page in another time zone. Buying the same subscriptions through a local partner gets you a rupee invoice, seats you can add or drop as headcount moves, and a number a person answers (Cloud Solution Provider). The software is identical, because it is Microsoft's either way - the billing and the help are not. Microtech Solutions bills in INR and sets up what it sells.
🔑 Why Businesses Pick Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration when budgets are tight
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.
The week of a mail move is the week everyone remembers, so we plan it around your business rather than ours. Mail routing is switched after hours, both the old and new systems carry mail for a while, and nothing is deleted from the old platform for a fortnight. If something looks wrong on Monday morning there is a way back, which is the part rushed migrations always skip. Microtech Solutions has done enough of these to know where mail actually goes missing.
Files Off WhatsApp and into a Shared Drive for Agencies near Sheoraphuli
A garment exporter with a unit near Sheoraphuli and about sixty staff discovered that buyers overseas were receiving payment instructions from an address one letter different from theirs. We took over the area records, published exactly which servers may send on their behalf, watched the reports for two weeks and then moved the policy to reject, so forged mail now fails at the receiving end. Internal alerts from their shipping software were found and fixed during that watching period rather than after. Their finance head no longer starts every payment call by asking the buyer to read the sender address aloud.
🛡️ WHO HOLDS THE KEYS AFTER GO-LIVE
How a Migration Is Planned Before Anyone Touches Your Mail
Every tenant we build gets the same plain baseline: a phone prompt on top of the password, the ancient mail protocols switched off, sensible sharing limits, and a separate emergency admin account. None of it is exotic and all of it is written down. You keep that document, so whoever looks after your systems next is not left guessing.
The work we take on, once the plan is agreed:
▪Microsoft Defender for Business Rollout
▪Fixing Mail That Lands in Spam (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
▪Stopping Sensitive Files Leaving by Email (DLP)
▪Moving Old Email with Folders and Contacts Intact
*Note: We act as an independent supplier and integrator. Product names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.*
💡 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.
📱 PHONES AND LAPTOPS
What happens when a staff handset with company mail on it goes missing in Sheoraphuli? Enrolment now means a wipe from a browser later, with personal photos and chats untouched.
📚 Ranges Sorted by Office Size for offices in Sheoraphuli
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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.
🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE
Full management of Windows laptops, app protection policies and BitLocker key backup (Intune), plus attachment sandboxing and sign-in restriction rules - all of that sits in the Premium plan. Enrolled phones can still be wiped from here using the free mobile controls built into this plan (Basic Mobility and Security).
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.
🔹 SIGN-IN RULES
Block logins from countries you never trade with or from machines you do not manage, and demand the second check only where it earns its keep (Entra ID P1 Conditional Access).
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
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.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Not included. Files open and edit in a browser tab or the mobile apps, which covers reading, approving and light changes.
🔹 PHONE FIRST
Staff with no company laptop still get their mail, the staff directory and Teams on a personal Android handset.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Shift supervisors, drivers, warehouse hands, site engineers and trainees who need an inbox and a Teams message, nothing more.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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).
🔹 SETUP TIME
Porting existing numbers runs on the operator's clock and is the slow part; the Teams configuration itself takes a couple of days.
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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
One working session to agree the policies, then devices enrolled in batches so the support calls stay manageable.
🔹 HOW IT'S LICENSED
Bundled inside Business Premium, or bought on its own by firms that only want the device side (Intune Plan 1).
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 LICENCE RIGHT-SIZING
Each quarter we list who is paying for what, point out the seats nobody has signed into for months, and drop or downgrade them at renewal.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with no in-house IT person, and firms whose IT person should not be spending Monday morning resetting passwords.

🧮 Key Figures Every Buyer Should Check for larger offices
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.
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 Sheoraphuli get the same running order at eight seats as at two hundred.

Three Responsibilities: Microsoft's, Yours and Ours
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.
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.

WHAT OWNERS LIKE - IN PLAIN WORDS
COMPROMISES TO ACCEPT SPELLED OUT UPFRONT
✓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).
—If both the admin credentials and the emergency account are lost, getting control back from Microsoft is slow and painful.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—Microsoft does not keep a deleted mailbox forever; past the retention window it is gone, so backup is a separate product you buy on top.
✓Everything sits in one admin console that we hand over to you in writing, passwords and recovery details included.
—Guest sharing in Teams and SharePoint starts open and has to be tightened deliberately, or documents wander off quietly.
✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.
—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.
✓A second check at login means the password alone opens nothing (multi-factor authentication).
—Encryption on a document does not stop someone photographing the screen or reading the contents down the phone.
💡 Engineering Fact: Your tenant is your own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, and your area belongs to you whoever set it up. If a former vendor is sitting on the admin account, control can be recovered by proving you own the area.

🗒️ Practical Findings After a Year in Service for demanding workloads
Shared mailboxes are the easiest money most companies leave on the table. Every generic address - info@, sales@, careers@, that old address on the printed brochures - can be a shared mailbox with no licence attached, worked from by as many staff as you like. I have taken over tenants where six of those existed as full paid accounts with somebody's password written down. Converting them costs nothing and takes an afternoon.
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: Microsoft licences follow the person, not the machine. One employee may install Office on an office desktop, a laptop and a home PC on the same seat - but two people sharing one seat is an audit problem waiting to happen.
🛠️ Enrolling Company Laptops and Staff Phones across Kolkata
These are the habits we apply to every tenant we build, whether the company has eight users or two hundred and eight.
🔧 Network Setup & Cabling - What We Do in and around Sheoraphuli
🔹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.
🔹Agree the folder and site structure on paper before a single file is uploaded, because rearranging two hundred gigabytes after the fact is somebody's entire week.
🔹Keep the old system live and delivering alongside the new one for the first few days, then leave it readable but switched off for a fortnight before anybody deletes a thing.

Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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.
Q. 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.
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.
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.
💡 Engineering Fact: Delete a resigned employee's account and the mail history goes with it - including the thread you need when a payment dispute surfaces. Change the mailbox to a shared one instead: the history stays, the replacement can read it, and the seat costs nothing.
