What is the key benefit of embedding OMBPs in a Starter Configuration?

Oracle Modern Best Practices (OMBPs) are embedded within Starter Configurations to provide a pre-configured, standardized foundation for implementing Oracle Fusion Applications. This approach is solution-led, meaning it guides customers toward proven, efficient business processes rather than starting from a blank slate. The key benefit is accelerated implementation, reduced risk, and lower total cost of ownership by leveraging a standard model based on the successful experiences of many organizations, which can then be tailored as needed.

A. Starter Configurations are for Oracle's own applications, not a platform for accessing third-party configurations.
B. Starter Configurations are the opposite of fully customized; they are standardized starting points designed to reduce the need for extensive initial customization.
