You can certainly use QuickFIX to communicate with another FIX application
be it Cameron or something else, but QuickFIX is a complete and
self-contained API.  It has no means to pass messages up to some other API.

If your firm has standardized on using Cameron, then shouldn't yo be
developing using their APIs and not QuickFIX?
