EXHIBIT 31.1


                      CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CERTIFICATION

I, Douglas S. Hackett, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director 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.
