A Conversation with Jania Bailey, CEO of FranNet

When Jania Bailey, CEO of FranNet, realized the company’s technology infrastructure was holding back growth and efficiency, she faced a critical decision: hire a full-time internal team or find a trusted partner offering fractional IT leadership. In this candid video interview, Jania sits down with Dave Wheeler of Tsource to share the story behind her decision, the challenges FranNet faced, and the game-changing impact of choosing Tsource as their technology partner.

Identifying the Problem: Outdated Systems, Rising Costs, and Security Concerns
Like many expanding organizations, FranNet had built its IT environment over time using a mix of internal tools and external vendors. While these systems served the business initially, they became expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and prone to security vulnerabilities. As the franchise consulting firm continued to grow, Jania knew the existing approach wouldn’t support future expansion or innovation.

The Decision: Why FranNet Chose Fractional IT Leadership
Instead of building an in-house team—which would require significant time, expense, and ongoing management—Jania turned to Tsource for fractional IT consulting and strategic technology leadership. This flexible model gave FranNet access to senior-level expertise without the overhead of full-time staffing, enabling smarter budgeting and faster implementation.

The Transformation: Tsource’s Strategic Approach

• Tsource worked hand-in-hand with FranNet’s leadership to:
• Evaluate and optimize legacy systems
• Streamline operations with scalable, cloud-based solutions
• Enhance cybersecurity and compliance
• Enable greater collaboration across remote teams
• Create a roadmap for future IT investments and growth

The result was not just an upgraded technology stack—but a more agile, resilient, and cost-effective IT foundation that aligned perfectly with FranNet’s mission of helping entrepreneurs achieve business ownership through franchising.

Real Results: More Flexibility, Less Overhead, Greater Peace of Mind
Through its partnership with Tsource, FranNet now enjoys:

• A modernized IT infrastructure built for scalability and security
• Reduced operational costs compared to hiring a full-time internal team
