Longo became COO of Six Disciplines in 2001, and then  in 2007, VP of Plumbline Solutions, which develops Dynamics SL products for Microsoft and then CEO of the related Plumbline Consulting in 2009. He still holds both Plumbline posts. Over the last 18 months, SBS has added six offices in a format that "keeps the entrepreneur in the local office," Longo said. It's the failure to retain those company owners at the local office, he believes, that has prevented roll out companies from being more successful. The owners maintain a significant stake in SBS offices, he said. Longo described the investment/ownership formula for the venture as being complex. SBS now has offices in Philadelphia, New York, Washington D.C., Toledo, New Orleans, Boston, Oklahoma City and Houston.
