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 of Innovative Software
            Technologies, Inc. (the "small business issuer");

      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 small business issuer as of, and for, the periods
            presented in this quarterly report;

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

            (a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the small business issuer, 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 small business issuer's
                  disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
                  quarterly report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
                  the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                  period covered by this quarterly report based on such
                  evaluation; and

            (c)   Disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the small
                  business issuer's internal control over financial quarterly
                  reporting that occurred during the small business issuer's
                  most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
                  reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
                  issuer's internal control over financial quarterly reporting;
                  and

      5.    The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I have
            disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
            over financial quarterly reporting, to the small business issuer's
            auditors and the audit committee of the small business issuer's
            board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):


                                       23
<PAGE>

            (a)   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design or operation of internal control over financial
                  quarterly reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
                  affect the small business issuer's ability to record, process,
                  summarize and quarterly report financial information; and

            (b)   Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the small
                  business issuer's internal control over financial quarterly
                  reporting.
