we have to migrate the ETL code from DataFlux tool to SSIS tool.
In DataFlux, they have used a specific component (Gender Analysis) to generate a new field called "Gender" with the help of Customer's name & title (which is not a mandatory field) fields and we need to replicate the same functionality in SSIS or T-SQL logics (or algorithm).
Please let me know, if you faced this kind of scenario and the workaround for the same.

SSIS does not have gender analysis, but Melissa Data makes data quality and cleansing tools for SSIS that can do this.

I'm not sure there's a good why to figure out gender based on first name and title. There are a lot of names that are used for both binary genders and then you have to worry about people who don't identify as a gender. I'm surprised there's actually a tool out there where people claim they can do that...
But no, SSIS doesn't have that capability. It has to be built.

Heh... I think it's downright ridiculous anymore to even save an indication of gender.

Agreed. Unless somebody specifically selects a gender designation form they've filled in, it's hugely, hugely problematic to "assign" one on the basis of a finger in the air calculation.
