I ran across mention of Outlook (2007) with a Business Contact Manager add-on today -- never heard of it before:

Is anyone using this, is it worth the money? I use Outlook for my personal contacts now, and I'd love to be ABLE to use it for my business as well. THANKS!Soybean and a few others well-versed in Outlook may be along shortly to advise...but unless it's needed yesterday i'd say hold off. There may be some DECENT Free alternatives for what you WANT.
Welcome Aboard.What version of Outlook are you using now? I don't believe the Business Contact Manager is an add-on that you can buy separately and add on to a standard version of Outlook 2007. To get Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, that's EXACTLY what you buy, Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager.

Do you simply want to maintain the same type of data in Outlook for business contacts that you now have for personal contacts? If so, just add one or more folders for business contacts. To add folders, with Outlook Contacts open, click on File, New, and then on Folder.

Microsoft has a neat online "test drive" for Office 2007 components. To take the test drive, go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101687261033.aspx and proceed. You must use Internet Explorer to do this. If you take the test drive for Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, you'll see that it adds a lot functionality for business contacts, such as integration with accounting software. So, again, is that what you had in mind, or just basic contact info, like your personal contacts?
