A partner at a CA firm rang me in the middle of an audit. Two years of client correspondence sat in the mailbox of a man who had left in March, and nobody had his password. On old webmail that is usually a dead end; inside your own private space in Microsoft's cloud, Microtech Solutions can turn that mailbox into a shared one, hand access to whoever needs it, and stop paying for a person who has gone. We set the leaver routine up during the rollout so nobody is improvising the next time somebody resigns.
🏢 Onsite Installation and Staff Training for Microsoft in and around Thakurpukur
One morning a customer forwards you an invoice on your letterhead, from your email address, with someone else's bank account printed on it. Nobody broke into your mailbox; they forged the sender, because your area never told the world who is allowed to send on its behalf. Fixing it is a configuration job rather than a buy, and it has to be done in the right order with the mail flow watched before enforcement goes on. We do this a lot for export and trading firms in Kolkata that have been caught out once.
Six versions of the same price list are floating around a WhatsApp group and nobody can tell you which one is current. Microsoft 365 replaces that with one file in one place, editable by two people at the same time, with every earlier version recoverable for months (SharePoint and OneDrive). Most of the work is not technical - it is deciding, once, where things are going to live. We agree that structure with your team in Thakurpukur before a single file gets uploaded.
🎯 Good Reasons to Move Off Your Current Setup in and around Thakurpukur
A field engineer leaves a laptop in an auto and by evening your entire quotation history is in a stranger's hands. Company laptops and phones enrolled properly can be wiped from a browser, and on a staff member's personal phone only the company half goes while photos and personal chats stay untouched (Intune). Setting this up takes an afternoon and is worth nothing at all if you start it after the phone is gone. We enrol devices during the rollout so the answer already exists on the day you need it.
Headcount in a lot of Indian businesses is not a flat line - a factory office near Thakurpukur takes on extra hands before a shipping season and lets them go afterwards. Licences bought through us move with that instead of being locked in for twelve months regardless. Seasonal staff can sit on a cheap web-only plan while accounts keeps the full installed apps on two machines each. Paying per person for what that person actually does is the whole idea.
Stopping Forged Invoices Sent in an Export House's Name
A design agency was working entirely out of a WhatsApp group, where the same brochure existed as five files with names ending in final, final2 and use-this-one. We built a small set of client folders in a shared drive, moved the live work into it, and showed the team how two people can edit one file at the same time and still get both sets of changes. Old versions stay recoverable, so an accidental overwrite is a two-minute problem now. Their client calls stopped opening with somebody asking which file is the latest.
🛡️ HONEST SCOPE AND WHAT WE CHARGE FOR
Buying Licences Locally, Billed in Rupees
Licences are purchased and invoiced here in India, in rupees, against your company name with GST shown. Seats can be added when you hire and dropped at renewal, instead of arguing with a card payment on a website. We claim no special badge from Microsoft - what we offer is a local bill, a working setup, and a number that gets answered.
Here are the jobs clients ask for most often:
▪Ongoing Tenant Admin, AMC and New Joiner Setup
▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp
▪Microsoft Defender for Business Rollout
▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant
*Please note: Licence prices are set by Microsoft and can change at renewal; our fees for setup and ongoing admin are quoted separately and in writing.*
💡 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).
🧾 RUPEE BILLING WITH GST
Buying Microsoft licences on a card and getting a dollar receipt? Microtech Solutions bills companies in Thakurpukur in rupees with a proper tax invoice, monthly or yearly, seats up or down as you need.
📋 Available Options and Typical Fit for growing companies
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Desk staff who live in Outlook and Excel all day - accounts, sales, admin and management.
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.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
CA firms, clinics, exporters, and any office where staff carry customer data around on a laptop.
🔹 DEVICE CONTROL
Company laptops and phones are enrolled, disks are encrypted by default, and a missing device can be cleared remotely (Intune and BitLocker).
🔹 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.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
Mail, calendar, contacts and shared calendars on your own area, syncing to Outlook, phones and any browser.
🔹 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.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.
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.
🔹 UNDOING MISTAKES
A deleted file waits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten one rolls back to an earlier version in a couple of clicks.
🔹 HOW LONG IT TAKES
Down to data size and upload speed - a few hundred GB on an ordinary office line runs over several nights.
🔹 WORKING OFFLINE
Files still appear as a normal drive in File Explorer, keep working when the link drops, and catch up when it returns (OneDrive sync).
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.
🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS
Not included. Files open and edit in a browser tab or the mobile apps, which covers reading, approving and light changes.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Adding Basic users to a tenant whose area is already verified is a same-hour job.
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 Thakurpukur before anyone signs anything.
🔹 CALL REPORTING
Who rang, who missed it, how long people waited - the numbers a sales head actually asks about on Monday.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Offices nursing an ageing EPABX, retail chains across several branches, and support desks that need calls reaching staff working from home.
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.
🔹 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).
🔹 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.
🔹 RULES YOU CAN SET
Screen lock and PIN compulsory, copying out of work apps blocked, and company mail refused on a rooted or jailbroken phone.
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.
🔹 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.
🔹 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.
🔹 ROLLOUT
Installs can be pushed to machines over the network rather than walking desk to desk, once the package and update channel are agreed.
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.
🔹 FIRST MONTH
We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.
🔹 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.
🔹 BILLING
A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.

🔎 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide for businesses in Kolkata
Almost anything can be migrated from. We regularly move companies off free webmail on a personal address, hosting-company mailboxes bundled with a website, an old Exchange or Zimbra server sitting on site, Google Workspace, or an existing Microsoft tenant somebody else set up badly. What comes across is the mail itself with its folder structure, plus contacts, calendars and any shared calendars in use. What does not come across automatically gets listed for you in advance, so there are no surprises on the Monday.
Mail reputation is treated as part of the build, not an extra. We publish which servers are allowed to send in your name, add the signing keys, then watch the reports for a couple of weeks before tightening the policy to reject forged mail. Alerts sent by your own accounting software, the office copier and the website contact form are found and included during that watching period. The outcome you notice is straightforward: proposals reach inboxes, and nobody can invoice your customers in your name.

Licensing Rules Microsoft Enforces That Surprise First-Time Buyers
SharePoint and OneDrive replace the file server in the corner. Departments get their own areas with proper permissions, individuals get personal space that follows them between machines, and two people can work on the same spreadsheet at the same time without one overwriting the other. Every earlier version of a file stays recoverable for months, which turns an accidental save-over from a crisis into a two-minute fix.
Microsoft Teams is where the WhatsApp groups end up. Departments get channels, calls and video meetings run inside the same window, and the file being discussed is attached to the conversation rather than forwarded around handsets. For companies with a plant, a head office and people on the road, it removes a lot of the phone tag that eats a working morning.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK
Coordinate custom hardware configurations, AMC maintenance contracts, and site engineering visits directly with authorized integration desks.
💬 Field Testing and What It Told Us in and around Thakurpukur
Do not lift an old file server into the cloud as it stands. Fifteen years of nested folders will have paths too long to survive the move, filenames with symbols the cloud refuses, and permissions inherited from people who left in 2014. I map the structure first, agree with the department heads what actually needs to come over, and rebuild it in a shape somebody could explain in a sentence. What gets copied afterwards is smaller, tidier and far less likely to break the sync client.
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.

FEWER HEADACHES AT A GLANCE
WHERE IT FALLS SHORT SET OUT PLAINLY
✓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).
—Guest sharing in Teams and SharePoint starts open and has to be tightened deliberately, or documents wander off quietly.
✓Most tenants we audit are paying full price for three generic addresses that should be costing nothing at all (shared mailboxes).
—Multi-factor login means everybody must carry a phone they will actually use, and the first week brings grumbling.
✓Meetings, department chat and file sharing sit in one place, which is how WhatsApp finally gets retired (Teams).
—Outlook 2013 and older will not connect, so a few desktops need the newer version installed before the move.
✓Everything sits in one admin console that we hand over to you in writing, passwords and recovery details included.
—Litigation hold and case-based search do come with Business Premium (eDiscovery Standard); it is the advanced compliance tooling - custodian tracking, analytics, predictive coding - that only the top enterprise plan carries.
✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.
—Staff need a short walkthrough, or they will carry on sending files over WhatsApp and never open Teams at all.
💡 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.

Sender records are then tightened in stages, watching the reports for a week or two, so real mail keeps flowing while forged mail stops.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
Letting the area sit inside one person's personal account is a risk nobody notices until that person is unreachable, or unhappy.
🔌 Guidelines & Sizing
Walk the floor with a list before buying anything: mark who lives in Excel all day and who only reads mail on a phone, then price those two groups differently.

📋 User Training & Handover Step by Step for growing offices
🔹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.
🔹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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
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. 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.
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.
💡 Engineering Fact: The cloud is not a backup. Microsoft protects the service against its own failures; it does not protect you from a staff member who deletes a folder in March and asks for it back in October.
