Person
Simon Buxton has worked with Dynamics AX since its earliest incarnation, starting out as a consultant and developer in early 1999 when Dynamics AX was known as Damgaard Axapta 1.5.
Simon quickly became a team leader at Columbus IT Partners, and carried out one of the first AX implementations in the UK before joining a new reseller, Sense Enterprise Solutions, as its Technical Director. Sense Enterprise Solutions enjoyed 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 included developing solutions for third party logistics, multichannel retail and eventually developing an Animal Feed vertical. As as well this, he has integrated Dynamics AX into production control systems, government gateways, and e-commerce solutions, among others.
Sense Enterprise Solutions was sold to a major PLC and since then, Simon has teamed up with Binary Consultants as their Technical Architect, where he works with some of the most technically able AX and Microsoft.Net professionals in Europe. Binary Consultants are involved in the implementation, upgrade, and support of Microsoft Dynamics AX and the development of addons for AX 2012 (under the name Axponents) and vertical solutions in Animal Feed.
Simon has been a reviewer on Implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 with Sure Step 2012, which was published in March 2013.
I would like to thank my colleagues at Binary Consultants, specifically Andrew Birch for his assistance and seemingly tireless debate, and Clare Morrissey for her support with proofreading. I would also like to thank all those that helped review this book, without whom this wouldn't be possible. Finally, I have to thank my partner, Evi, for her patience as I disappeared for hours each night tapping away on my laptop. Of course, no bio could be complete without mentioning my children Tyler and Isabella, who give me more inspiration than they could ever know.
