The amount of bandwidth used over a WAN, (eg internet), by remote connections is not a question of VPN connections versus something else. If the network is being hampered because of a lack of bandwidth, the company might want to look into acquiring more bandwidth. You might also look at stateless versus persistent connections. Web application usually use less bandwidth; because, the connections are not persistent, (eg a remote user connects to a web server, requests a webpage, and then disconnects. The web server listening over a certain port responds to the request for a page, open a connection to the client sided browser, send the page, and then disconnects. Also, most database server act in a stateless manner, especially where bandwidth is limited. Where bandwidth is not an issue, persistent connections are faster.
