Need some suggestions on setting up an extension office abroad

I am moving to the Philippines this end of May and the company decided that they still want to keep me working for them

Now, the main issue is networking and telephony. I will be contacting UK businesses and also still be closely talking with my staff in the UK so would need some advise on which is the most cost effective way to move things forward and work as if I was in the UK.

We have spoken with the likes of Cisco and Avaya partners but as much as we can pay for the cost they are asking for (around £6,000 - £8,000), we are looking for a cheaper starter option as my boss is not sure how the system will take off. So:

- we need a telephone system linked between our UK office & the Philippines office as if I was just in another buidling in the UK, allowing me (and possibly three other employees) to call UK companies.

- we also need a way to allow me and my staff in the Philippines to intereact with our Sage ACT! Premium 2009 database and Sage Accounts 2009 database in our UK server.

Any suggestions? If you personally know of a reputable company that has any cheap, starter suggestions, we are very open to hear what you have to say. Cheers for the help in advance!

If this is business related I would advise you to pay for a professional solution rather than seek advice here.
