The township the neighbors were carved from, with a rail station and a long stretch of the Meadowlands.
Lyndhurst is a Bergen County township of 22,519 people, and the companies working there need managed IT services that get the Microsoft 365 license right for each person instead of paying for the wrong tier. Its history runs backward from most towns. It started as Union Township on February 19, 1852, and Rutherford, East Rutherford and North Arlington were all taken out of it before the remainder was renamed Lyndhurst on May 15, 1917, after Lord Lyndhurst, according to the Bergen County Clerk. What’s left still covers about 4.6 square miles, more land than Rutherford or East Rutherford. Town Hall is at 367 Valley Brook Avenue, and a board of commissioners runs the township. VJNetworks has worked across Bergen County since 2004, and licensing is a bigger part of our managed IT services than most people expect.

employees, the range we build for, from a small office to a full floor.
Chapter 21 of the township’s zoning code lists a Business district, an M-1 Light Industrial district, an M-2 Heavy Industrial district, and a C-GI Commercial and General Industrial district, and a separate chapter of the code creates a Business Improvement District. Part of the township falls inside the state’s Meadowlands District as well. Put together, you get a little of everything: storefront businesses near Town Hall, manufacturers and distributors on industrial land, and offices out toward the marsh. The Microsoft 365 needs vary just as much. A twelve-person sales office lives in Outlook and Teams. A plant floor might have a dozen people who only need email on their phones. An office manager might be the only one handling payroll files that really should be locked down. Paying for the same license across all of them is the easy choice. Matching the license to the job is usually the better one, and it takes someone who knows the plans.
What small companies usually want sorted out first.
Two licensing problems that turn up in small companies all the time, usually without anyone noticing.
A license mix nobody chose
Half the staff are on one Microsoft plan and half on another, and nobody can say why. Somebody who needs the desktop Office apps is stuck on a web-only plan. Somebody who left a year ago is still on the invoice. It happens because licenses get bought one at a time, in a hurry, whenever someone new starts. Nobody ever steps back and looks at the whole list together.
Security features already paid for and switched off
The opposite happens too. A company pays for a plan that includes serious security tools and never turns them on, because the person who set up the tenant didn’t know they were there. That’s money spent on protection that isn’t protecting anything. Neither problem is dramatic. Both are fixable once someone who knows the licensing takes a look.
VJNetworks sorts out the licensing. Big enough to manage your IT. Small enough to care.
Microsoft 365 for Lyndhurst businesses, matched license by license.
Mike Stoveken, our vice president, puts it this way: “They build everything into 365. If you need to meet certain compliance frameworks, you have to purchase the right licence that gives you access to those features. Some are included in every licence, but a lot are tied to specific licences, and sometimes you need an add-on licence that’s made to go along with another licence.” Here’s how that plays out.
Business Standard covers the work
According to Microsoft, Business Standard includes Teams, business email, secure cloud storage and the premium Office apps across devices. For a lot of people in a small office, that’s everything they need to do their job.
Business Premium adds the security
Business Premium includes everything in Standard plus Microsoft Defender for Business and Defender for Office 365 Plan 1. Defender for Business includes endpoint detection and response. Protecting servers with it takes extra licenses.
Mixing plans on purpose
Microsoft lets one company combine Business Basic, Standard and Premium seats. So the payroll desk can get the extra protection while the plant-floor staff who only need email are on a lighter plan. We go through it person by person.
That’s the most a company can hold across Microsoft’s Business plans, counting Basic, Standard and Premium together, according to Microsoft’s Business Premium FAQ. Every business we build for sits well under that line, so the Business family is usually where the choice gets made. The real question is which plan each person needs.

Licensing is one part of the job. The agreement also covers cybersecurity and endpoint protection, management of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, the network, repairs, the help desk, onboarding and offboarding, and vCIO strategy and roadmapping. When we start, we go through your tenant: which licenses are active, who’s actually using them, and which security settings are turned on. Mike also has a view on where files should live. “OneDrive is a more user-based version of SharePoint, SharePoint is the company-based version of OneDrive. I think they should utilize SharePoint more.” Licenses, hardware and materials are billed separately from the monthly agreement, and we won’t add anything to the invoice without talking to you about it first.
