Japanese term or phrase: 全世界の機器、ネットワーク資源をうまく組み合わせて
通信サービスを担う企業として、“Convergence”とは、IP技術をベースとして、全世界の機器、ネットワーク資源をうまく組み合わせて、誰にでも使いやすい通信サービス環境をグローバルの視点で構築し、提供していくことと認識しています。

Of course, my literal translation is "combining devices and network resources all over the world," but I get no hits on google for "combining devices and network resources," so I'm thinking that's not the best way to say it in English.

English translation:(cleverly) putting together global devices and network resources (to deliver some benefit)
Explanation:
This is different from KathyT's answer. It is not 'mixing' A with B but instead bringing togethe A and B to deliver a solution.

The idea is to take these existing global devices and networks to deliver an efficient solution.

I wasn't sure about 'combining' either - I toyed with 'integrating' and 'implementing' but in this context, they are just talking about taking these technologies and networks and putting them together.

Rough draft translation: As a company dealing with communications services, we define "Convergence" as using IP technology to put together IP-based devices and network resources to build and provide communications services with a global perspective that can be easily used by anyone.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I don't get any hits for "combining devices with network resources" either. Are you sure it's okay to say it that way? Sorry, I second-guess my English abilities lately. As my Japanese skills improve my English skills seem to worsen. :)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Can Altinbay: I don't see a problem with combining.

agree  Will Matter: "Combining devices (that are) available worldwide with network resources..." gives two more options that are a little more colloquial. I know that there's no "available" in the original but see if you think my suggestion accurately conveys the meaning.
