Aunque el formato SUN no es de uso extendido actualmente en la región, su presencia es notable en legados de sistemas universitarios o gubernamentales antiguos, especialmente en proyectos de digitalización de documentos técnicos o cartográficos, donde la interoperabilidad con estaciones de trabajo UNIX era crucial. La conversión desde G3, un formato común en equipos de fax, permite integrar esta información en entornos más modernos.
