Best practice for configuring Zoho DOCS

As a user (& partner) of many Zoho products (Mail, CRM, DOCS, Projects, Campaigns, Invoice, People) I constantly struggle with how to advise new users to approach the design of Zoho DOCS to best support their use of the other products. Has anyone tried creating a "Best Practice" Type document that they would care to share ?

Specifically if you start with organisational groups and shared workspaces so for example you could create a workspace for Finance, add Finance Group as say moderators, you could then have a folder for financial procedures such as "submitting expenses" that you could give read only access to everyone in the organisation.

Any advice / thoughts / experience in setup and ongoing management of the structure would be much appreciated.
