I usually refer to this as "business oriented" - not in a derogatory sense, but because their design decisions are primarily determined by their financial impact, vs another measure (such as fault tolerance, error detection, system consistency, or projected support hours required).

A lot of business oriented people may find my delineation here offensive, but it really isn't meant to be. While a business' job is to make money, and employees work for the business, they may still disagree on how to evaluate a given action - because the business making money and being financially optimised may not be the main reason they work there.
