Simon Buxton

Simon Buxton has worked with Dynamics 365 for Operations since its earliest incarnations, starting out as a consultant and developer in early 1999 when Dynamics 365 for Operations was known as Damgaard Axapta 1.5. He quickly became a team leader at Columbus IT Partners, and carried out one of the first AX implementations in UK before joining a new reseller, Sense Enterprise Solutions, as its Technical Director. Sense Enterprise Solutions enjoyed a global reach through the AxPact alliance, where Simon was placed as AxPact's Technical Lead.

Simon played a major role in growing the company into a successful Microsoft partner and was the Technical Lead on a number of highly challenging technical projects around the world—from the UK to Bahrain to the USA. These projects include developing solutions for third-party logistics, multichannel retail, and eventually developing an animal feed vertical as well as integrating Dynamics AX into production control systems, government gateways, and e-commerce solutions among others.

Now working with Binary Consultants, he was part of a team that implemented the first Dynamics 365 for Operations implementation with support from Microsoft as part of the Community Technical Preview program (CTP).
