Organizations today are flooded with massive, varied documents (e.g. pdf, XML) from many sources. How can a company reap benefits from those documents and turn that into a competitive advantage?

The ongoing effort at Freddie Mac shows that Big Data technology has the potential to be transformative in handling the quantity, speed, spread and value of documents.
