Your choice of approach depends to a large degree on the audience and what you want them to see: Who will be using this new entity (which sounds like a ContactItem with a few custom properties added)? How do you want to display information to them? In what version(s) of Outlook?
Unless it's for your personal use, you're likely to be looking at an add-in.

Hello,
I am trying to achieve something in Outlook however I need yo know if it can
be done by creating a new form.
Basicaly I want to Create a new entity in outlook called "Companies". Just
like contacts I want to be able to create new companies with their relevant
information like name, address, average revenue, etc. also this company can
be assigned some "Contacts", "Notes" and "Tasks".
Can this be done by creating a form or will this require an add-in?
In any case i am a .NET programmer and if you can direct me to a sample that
can get me started that would be great.
Thank you,
Best regards,
Andre
