We are an IDB looking to set up a FIX connection with a fund

I am completely new to this and wondering how I go about setting up this functionality.
We are futures brokers in the commodity world and have a fund wanting to trade with us, using a fix connection to submit orders and to be recapped by.

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone I can talk to on the matter?
what software we may need going forward - who is the best vendor etc?

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tom, I would be happy to help. What are the best contact details to reach you on?

Itiviti (ex: NYFIX, Ullink) is probably the market leader in FIX connectivity. Worth starting there.

Where are you based?
