The company only needs to get access for this one person so interested in a simple workable solution where they can login from a remote PC and get the full functionality of their office desktop without causing any security issues.
I've used gotmypc and logmein for my personal computers in the past and some heavier duty corporate systems on my work computers but wanted to tap the knowledge of FT as I am not all up to date on what options are out there.
For a small-scale VPN solution that doesn't require network hardware etc. check out
http://pertino.com/. It's a cloud-based VPN solution and is free for 3 or fewer computers. Once connected to the company network via VPN your remote worker can use MS Remote Desktop Connection to run desktop sessions on whatever company computers he needs to access.
