Exhibit 31.1

                      CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CERTIFICATION

I, Peter M. Peterson,  President,  Chief  Executive  Officer and Chairman of the
Board of Innovative Software Technologies, Inc., certify that:

      1.    I have reviewed this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB of Innovative
            Software Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant");

      2.    Based on my knowledge,  this  Quarterly  Report does not contain any
            untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
            necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
            under which such  statements  were made, not misleading with respect
            to the period covered by this Quarterly Report;

      3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
            information included in this Quarterly Report, fairly present in all
            material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
            cash flows of the  Registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented
            in this Quarterly Report;

      4.    The Registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
            establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures (as
            defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the  Registrant
            and have:

            a)    designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures to ensure
                  that  material   information   relating  to  the   Registrant,
                  including its consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made known to us
                  by others  within  those  entities,  particularly  during  the
                  period in which this Quarterly Report is being prepared;

            b)    evaluated the  effectiveness  of the  Registrant's  disclosure
                  controls and  procedures  as of a date within 90 days prior to
                  the filing  date of this  Quarterly  Report  (the  "Evaluation
                  Date"); and

            c)    presented in this Quarterly  Report our conclusions  about the
                  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures based
                  on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

      5.    The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I have disclosed,
            based on our most recent  evaluation,  to the Registrant's  auditors
            and the audit  committee  of  Registrant's  board of  directors  (or
            persons performing the equivalent functions):

        a)  all significant  deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
            controls which could adversely  affect the  Registrant's  ability to
            record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and have
            identified for the Registrant's  auditors any material weaknesses in
            internal controls; and

        b)  any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
            other  employees  who have a  significant  role in the  Registrant's
            internal controls; and

      6.    The registrant's  other certifying  officers and I have indicated in
            this Quarterly Report whether or not there were significant  changes
            in internal  controls or in other  factors that could  significantly
            affect internal  controls  subsequent to the date of our most recent





            evaluation,   including  any  corrective   actions  with  regard  to
            significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
