Business contact manager is a huge pain in the butt and I have yet to meet anyone who uses it. Recently we had a client that needed to roll out 23 new computers but they all had Business Contact Manager installed on them. We used this Kaseya script to uninstall it.
This will only remove the application not all the associated applications (ie SQL Express).

If you would prefer to disable it instead of uninstall it you can use this script instead.
