Access is a Microsoft database, porting away from it may be a nightmare.
Microsoft Outlook for Mac is what you use when you need an address book app with Microsoft Exchange support. Other than that, there aren't too many plusses. Contact Book ($5) is an Address Book.
First, tell us why you are wanting to move to a different database platform. (Need the end goal to figure out how to do it)
What compliance standards do you have to adhere to? PCI, HIPAA, etc.

I highly recommend posting your question on the SpiceWorks forums as this is something IT specialists know what to do and how to go about it. I am a member there and will offer any guidance as well. http://community.spiceworks.com/
Lastly, Apple owns FileMaker which is a Mac/PC-friendly database system. While waiting for the IT pros to assist with a plan, call the team at Filemaker and see what they can do for you. http://www.filemaker.com/

LibreOffice (free) should be able to open a MS Access Database, though I don't know how much formatting it can carry over. Their database is rather clunky to use, but at least you can experiment without it costing you anything.
Failing that you should be able to export from Access as a comma-separated or tab-separated text file, which most database programs can open (though you won't carry over formatting or formulas - only the results of formulas) so a certain amount of work may be necessary to get it to behave.
This page (originally written for people abandoning 'AppleWorks') lists a number of Mac database applications:

It all depends on how complex the database is. If it's just a collection of text and numbers, with no calculations, then you shouldn't have too much trouble with it and should be able to use a fairly basic database application. Several of the applications listed in my page have free trials so that would be the next step to see whether you like the results. The ultimate database program is Filemaker Pro but it's extremely powerful and complex (and expensive) and likely much more than you need.
